Lagonza Hayward, one of the top safeties in the 2025 class, has committed to Tennessee football.
Hayward announced his commitment Saturday on Instagram.
“I will be taking my talents for the next four years to Tennessee,” he said.

He is a 6-foot-1, 200-pounder from Toombs County High in Lyons, Georgia.
Hayward chose Tennessee over Georgia and Florida. He also had offers from Southern Cal, Alabama, Florida State and South Carolina among dozens of others.
