Andrew Toles, son of former UT linebacker Alvin Toles, has committed to play baseball for Tennessee next year.

Toles is a left-handed-batting outfielder with good defensive skills from Sandy Creek High School in Tyrone, Ga.

The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Toles is also an aggressive base-runner who had 26 stolen bases as a junior, while hitting .450.

Andrew Toles plays summer ball for the East Cobb Braves. He projects to be drafted next summer. How high will depend on his senior year at Sandy Creek.

His father, Alvin Toles, was a hard-hitting linebacker at Tennessee from 1981-84. He played several years for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL.
