Tennessee is recruiting toward its 2028 basketball signing class. The Vols offered a scholarship to five-star small forward DJ Okoth.
“Blessed to receive an offer from the University of Tennessee,” Okoth announced.
The 6-foot-6, 185-pound prospect is an in-state target from Bartlett High School in Bartlett, Tennessee. He was also on roster for the 2025 USA Basketball junior national team in training camp.
Okoth ranks as the No. 5 small forward and No. 13 overall player in ESPN’s 2028 top 25 prospects.
Tennessee State was the first school to offer him a scholarship on June 24, 2024. Other schools to offer him scholarships include Alabama State, Memphis, UT Martin and Mississippi State.
Tennessee does not have a commitment in its 2028 basketball recruiting class. The Vols have six commitments in their 2025 basketball recruiting class: forward DeWayne Brown, small forward Amari Evans, point guard Troy Henderson, forward Nate Ament, shooting guard Clarence Massamba and shooting guard Ethan Burg.
