Tennessee Basketball makes final seven for 5-star forward Chris Cenac
Tennessee Basketball is in the one of the final seven programs still alive in the recruitment of 2025 five-star Chris Cenac, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. The 6-foot-10, 210-pound prospect is the No. 5 overall player in the country and the No. 2 power forward.
Cenac is a New Orleans native who attends Link Academy in Missouri. The Vols are in his final seven alongside Arkansas, Auburn, Baylor, Houston, Kentucky and LSU.
He previously had a top 12 that included Alabama, Louisville, Michigan State, Texas and UConn, before the list was cut down to seven.
“I’m looking for a school that will develop me the most and help me get to the next level,” Cenac told On3’s Jamie Shaw during a recent interview. “I’ll want to have a great relationship with the coaches, trust there. And I’ll want to be looking for an NBA type system, spreading the floor, playing four or five out.”
Cenac has taken official visits to Houston, Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky. Tipton reported in August that Cenac plans to commit to a school by January or February.

On3 Scouting Report: Chris Cenac
“Chris Cenac has a great frame. It is projectable with long arms and natural fluidity. Cenac has good touch with good hands. He is a threat to step out and knock down a shot with his feet set. He needs to continue working on his balance and feet on the shot, but the release is consistent. Cenac is an excellent area rebounder. Making a concerted effort to high point and secure every board. He still needs strength, especially to his core and base. There is defensive upside. Cenac has a fluidity when he moves. He can open his hips and slide his feet. He also has natural timing around the rim. Now it is all about learning the angles, rotations, and footwork on that end. There is a high ceiling with Cenac as a lot of his tools translate to the highest levels of basketball. It is all about reps and development. He is still on the younger end for his 2025 class.” – On3’s Jamie Shaw
