VanDorselaer is a junior at Southlake Carroll in Southlake, Texas, a suburb in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Carroll has produced a number of NFL players and college standouts the past 20 years, including Chase Daniel, Quinn Ewers, Greg McElroy and Kenny Hill.
VanDorselaer received an offer from Tennessee in January 2023 after visiting the school’s Knoxville campus for its junior day.
He becomes the fifth player in the Vols’ 2025 class and the first tight end of the group. The class is ranked 12th nationally by 247.

Jackson, TN – Garrett Baughman, 19, of Wildersville, Tennessee, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for soliciting sexually explicit images and videos from a thirteen-year-old child. Joseph C.

Baughman was charged with one count of production of child pornography; one count of use of a facility and means of interstate commerce to persuade, induce, entice a minor to engage in sexual criminal acts; and one count of receipt of child pornography.
