Make it another commitment for Tennessee football.

Aubrey Phillips, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound lineman from Olive Branch (Miss.) High School told UT coaches Saturday he will play for the Vols.

Phillips had offers from Georgia Tech, Louisville, Memphis, Ole Miss and Penn State.

Phillips played last season at Booker T. Washington High School in Memphis.

Phillips is UT's fourth commitment in three days as the Vols hold their football camp this week. Defensive back Nyshier Oliver from St. Peter's prep in New Jersey City, N.J., also committed Saturday. Running back Jarvis Giles of Gaither High School in Tampa, Fla., committed Friday. Offensive lineman Kevin Revis of Rhea County committed Thursday.

Phillips is UT's eighth commitment for the 2009 signing class. He joins Oliver, Giles, Revis, receiver Je'Ron Stokes of Northeast High in Philadelphia, Pa., tailback Toney Williams of Milton High in Alpharetta, Ga., running back Dominique Allen from Henry County High in Paris, Tenn., and athlete Damien Thigpen from Stonewall Jackson High in Manassas, Va.
