Providence Day School offensive tackle David Sanders Jr. talks to Maurice Clarett, left, prior to the NCAA football game between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Indiana Hoosiers at Ohio Stadium in Columbus on Saturday, Nov. 23, 2024.

David Sanders, the No. 1 offensive tackle in the Class of 2025, does not intend to commit to a program on Wednesday, the first day of the early national signing period, 247Sports reported.

The 6-foot-6, 290-pound Sanders has been committed to Tennessee since Aug. 17. Still, he made an official visit to Ohio State and saw the Buckeyes beat Indiana on Nov. 23, and now could be considering a flip.

From Charlotte (N.C.) Providence Day, Sanders is the No. 5 overall player in the nation, according to the 247Sports composite.

Tennessee's 2025 class was ranked No. 10 in the nation as of midday Wednesday. Yet as impressive as that sounds, the Volunteers' class stands only seventh in the Southeastern Conference.

The Volunteers signed 21 players -- 11 of them four-star prospects and 10 three-stars -- Wednesday morning.
