Elite 2025 QB Cutter Boley talks Vols ahead of Saturday visit

2025 Lexington (Ky.) Lexington Christian Academy quarterback Cutter Boley is set to return to Knoxville this weekend to take another look at the Vols. The prized signal-caller previews the trip and discusses his growing relationship with Volquest.

“It has been a really fun process,” Boley said of his overall recruitment. “I really cut down on reaching out to coaches over winter break and spent time with my family, but usually, I am reaching out to multiple coaches a day. It has been a blast going through it all.”

Among the coaching staff Boley routinely reaches out to is Tennessee. He has developed a strong bond with the staff in Knoxville.

“It is an awesome relationship,” Boley said of this. “I was super excited to see Coach Halzle get announced as the new offensive coordinator. I really liked Coach Golesh, but he wasn’t really my position coach, so I have always had more contact with Coach Halzle and Coach Heupel when I have been down there. They were one of the first schools I started talking with, so it has been a good relationship with them. I am excited to come back down next week.”

As Boley returns to Knoxville this weekend, he hopes to continue to see his bond grow with the Vols’ coaching staff.

“I just want to keep getting to know them as people,” Boley said of this. “If it comes down to it and I end up choosing Tennessee one day, I want to know the coaching staff well and know the head coach, especially, will be there when I get there. OCs and coaches move around a lot, so I really want to continue to build a relationship with the head coach and OC. I feel like that would put me in a better scenario to learn more about them and from them.”

Boley was last in Knoxville in September when Tennessee downed Florida 38-33 in front of a soldout Neyland stadium. The game day atmosphere did not disappoint.

“It was an awesome experience,” Boley said of the visit. “You hear things about how big and loud Neyland stadium is, and it definitely surpassed expectations. It is a crazy environment and a great stadium to be in. I couldn’t imagine what it is like playing in it. It would definitely be a lot of fun.”

During his game day experience, Boley was able to focus on how Tennessee’s offense functions, and there was certainly plenty of appeal for the young signal-caller.

“It is amazing,” Boley said of the Tennessee offense. “It is one thing to watch it on TV, but then to watch it in person and see how everything works together. It seems very seamless to me. There is not a lot of opportunity for many hiccups because of how they call it and keep it simple. It looks like a very quarterback-friendly and would be intriguing to run.”

The Bluegrass State standout has offers from 18 Division 1 programs, with opportunities to run varying offensive attacks. However, while he feels he has a certain style of play, Boley believes he can be effective and efficient in essentially any style of offense.

“I mean, I am not really the fastest guy, but I am not the slowest guy either,” Boley said of this. “I kind of say I am like Josh Allen and Justin Herbert. I can extend plays outside of the pockets with my legs and make things happen. I am definitely not a run-first guy, but I feel like I can be efficient in everything really except the wing-T. I definitely look more at offenses that score a lot of points and do what I like. Some schools I have offers from do that, and some don’t.”

Boley does not have a current timeframe for a decision. He is rated as the 46th overall prospect, fifth-best quarterback and top player from the state of Kentucky in the class of 2025, according to the On3 Consensus ratings.
