Tennessee Basketball will host Tounde Yessoufou on an official visit the weekend of September 14, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. The 6-foot-5, 210-pound small forward out of Santa Maria, Calif., is the No. 11 overall player in the On3 ratings.

Yessoufou is the No. 4 small forward in the 2025 class and is the No. 1 overall player in the state of California. He recently listed Tennessee in his final 10 alongside Baylor, UConn, Kentucky, Arizona, USC, Kansas, Washington, Arizona State and UCLA.

“My relationship with Tennessee is really good,” Yessoufou told On3’s Jamie Shaw during a previous interview. “I’ve been talking with Coach Rod Clark, he is a great guy. He keeps everything real with me, he says that everyone knows that I can shoot now, but I have to keep punishing the glass and going to rebound every time I can and that opens the floor for me to knock down shots. 

“Offensively, they play fast and they are strong on defense. They develop players and the way they play is really impressive. I watched them play a few times last year and they were doing some great things. He trusts his players.”

Yessoufou has taken official visits to Arizona and USC and one to Washington under its previous coaching staff. He is also scheduled to visit to Baylor August 31. He’s the No. 19 overall player in 2025 in the On3 Industry Ranking.

Official visitors expected to be hosted by the Vols this fall

Tennessee has multiple official visits scheduled for the fall, including four-star shooting guard Darius Adams (September 13), four-star point guard Isaiah Dennis (October 11) and four-star shooting guard Braylon Mullins (October 19), along with other possible visitors.

Adams is the No. 18 overall player in the 2025 class according to the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s the No. 6 shooting guard and the No. 2 player in the state of Indiana, where he attends La Lumiere School.

Dennis, a 6-foot-5, 170-pound prospect out of Davidson Day School in Davidson, N.C., is the No. 81 overall player in the On3 Industry Ranking. He’s the No. 14 point guard int he 2025 class and the No. 3 overall player in the state of North Carolina. 

Mullins, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound shooting guard out of Greenfield-Central School in Greenfield, Indiana, is the No. 26 overall player in the class. He’s ranked No. 8 among shooting guards and No. 3 overall in Indiana.
