Jaden Springer will play for Tennessee next fall, as the five-star guard told ESPN's Paul Biancardi on Wednesday that he's committed to the Volunteers.

The five-star Springer is ranked 16th on the 2020 ESPN 100, and he's the third-ranked shooting guard in the class. He's currently in his senior year at IMG Academy in Florida.

The 6-foot-5 Springer is another big get for coach Rick Barnes, who had already locked up two other top-100 forwards for 2020: Keon Johnson and Corey Walker. The result is Tennessee's best recruiting class since 2010, when Tobias Harris led the way.

Springer chose the Vols over a number of other programs, including Memphis and Michigan.
