Tariq Owens has committed to Tennessee as a member of the 2014 incoming class.

The 6-foot-9 power forward had previously signed with Ohio before head coach Jim Christian left for the Boston College job. Owens selected the Volunteers over Temple and UT-Martin.

Owens is rated as a three-star recruit and should have a chance to contribute immediately due to the losses of Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon.
