2025 four-star offensive guard Chauncey Gooden (Nashville, Tenn.) has been high on the Tennessee Volunteers and just cut his list of schools to ten.
Even though the Vols’ 2024 signing class recently ended, the recruiting process never stops. Aside from a few goals in the current senior class, the coaching staff has already advanced to the 2025 group. Four-star offensive guard Chauncey Gooden is one of the talented in-state 2025 bunch, as head coach Josh Heupel described.
In the 2025 class, Gooden is ranked No. 217 by the 247Sports Composite Rankings. On Friday, he narrowed his list of potential candidates to ten, and the Vols are his top choice. Moving ahead, Gooden’s attention will be on Auburn, Clemson, Colorado, Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
