Tennessee football lands Page’s Brenden Anes, former Wisconsin commit
Brenden Anes has ditched the Big Ten for the SEC and Rocky Top.
Anes, a standout Page linebacker, announced on his X account that he has decommitted from Wisconsin and committed to Tennessee on Thursday.
“After a lot of prayer and conversations with my family, I will be stepping away from my commitment to The University of Tennessee,” Anes wrote. “Thank you Coach Inge and Coach Heupel for this opportunity to stay HOME and protect the checkerboards. Let’s Work!”
Anes is a 6-foot-3, 220-pound linebacker with 32 total tackles through the Patriots’ first eight games. He also has two interceptions and two forced fumbles. He is a three-star linebacker and No. 20 recruit in the state in the 247Sports Composite.
Anes is a member of The Tennessean’s 2024 Dandy Dozen, a collection of the top college football recruits in the Nashville area. He had been committed to Wisconsin since January.
