Transfer triple crown winner commits to Tennessee baseball over LSU, Texas A&M
Tyler Myatt committed to Tennessee baseball and head coach Tony Vitello.
"Let's do it Vol baseball," Myatt announced. "I'm staying home."
He committed to the Vols over LSU and Texas A&M.
Myatt, a redshirt freshman at Walters State Community College in Morristown, Tennessee, won the junior college triple crown in 2025. He recorded a .484 batting average, 31 home runs, 110 RBIs, 93 runs, nine stolen bases and 105 hits.
Myatt helped the Governors to a runner-up finish in the Junior College World Series and was named to the All-Tournament Team as a second baseman. He was also named TCCAA Player of the Year.
Myatt also led the nation in slugging percentage (1.014), hits and total bases (220). His 31 home runs and 110 RBIs represent program records for Walters State and eclipse a previous mark set by current Tennessee player Alberto Osuna.
Prior to Walters State, Myatt played for Claiborne High School in New Tazewell, Tennessee.
The No. 14 national seed Vols (46-17) will play No. 3 national seed Arkansas (46-13) in the Fayetteville Super Regional of the 2025 NCAA Baseball Tournament.
Game No. 1 of the best-of-three series is slated for Saturday at 5 p.m. EDT. ESPN will televise the matchup between the two SEC schools.
