It was announced on Hendrix Hart’s social media earlier today that the senior was committing to Tennessee to run track at the next level.

Kevin Hart put out a post on his Instagram account congratulating his son on his commitment. The post showed various photos of Hendrix on his recruiting visit to Tennessee and had the caption "Proud of you son…. The sky is the limit! Continue to raise your personal bar…. I can’t wait to see what you do next! We all love you, champ.”

Hart also visited the University of Southern California (USC) back in October.

Hart is one of three players to sign with Tennessee today, as Kenan Burge out of Atlanta, Georgia, and Brady Pineo out of Tampa, Florida, also signed with the Volunteers.

Some of Hendrix’s high school accolades include being the Great Southwest Classic Champion in the 200 meters (and setting a school record in the process) and the runner-up in the 2025 CIF SS Division Finals. According to the Tennessee track and field’s Instagram, he runs a 10.68 in the 100 meters and a 21.35 in the 200 meters.

Tennessee track and field is showing out this season, and it is easy to see why Hendrix would want to come. The Volunteers had 19 entries combined from both the girls and the boys track and field teams in the NCAA Indoor Championships, which is the third most amongst all schools in the country. The National Championships will be held in Fayetteville, Arkansas, on March 13th and 14th. If any Tennessee fans want to watch the events, they will be streamed on various ESPN networks and ESPN+.
