Nate Ament, the No. 4 player in the Class of 2025 (per On3), announced his much-awaited commitment to the Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday. The 6-foot-9 small forward chose the Vols over the Duke Blue Devils, Kentucky Wildcats, Arkansas Razorbacks, Tennessee Volunteers and Louisville Cardinals.
Ament announced his decision through an Instagram reel, which the No. 1 recruit and the BYU Cougars signee AJ Dybantsa reshared on Sunday.
"Longest wait of all time over, congrats brudda," Dybantsa captioned his story.
Ament received interest from 35 programs. These included offers from top programs, including Arkansas, North Carolina and Alabama.

Furthermore, he also took official visits to Texas on Sep. 28, Louisville on Oct. 11, Tennessee on Oct. 19, and Notre Dame on Nov. 9 in 2024. He also took two official visits in 2025 to Duke on Feb. 1 and Arkansas on March 8, before he made the decision.
"Coach [Rick] Barnes sees me as a one-and-done type player," Ament told ESPN. "He has done it before with Kevin Durant. He sees me as that kind of guy for his program.
"I built a great relationship with the coaching staff. I trust them a lot, and they have big goals for me. I think they'll do a great job of developing me as a player and a young man. I trust the coaches to help me get to the next level."
