Nate Ament got the ball on the final pass on a fast break.
The Tennessee basketball commitment took off with a defender — 2026 five-star guard Caleb Holt — rising to contest the dunk, to no avail.
“That was the craziest thing I have ever seen,” Tennessee signee Troy Henderson said. “He one-hand, cocked back and dunked. The gym went crazy. Everybody was at our court and the gym went nuts.”
Henderson watched Ament do that and more when they played AAU together in summer 2024 with Team Loaded 17U. Ament, a 2025 five-star forward, committed to Tennessee and Vols coach Rick Barnes on April 20. He is the No. 4 prospect in the class, according to 247Sports Composite, and the highest-ranked recruit in UT history. It’s a ranking Henderson can attest to.He’s a pro,” said Henderson, who signed with Tennessee on April 16. “You can see it. The way he moves. He is very versatile . . . He can do everything on the floor — shoot, pass and drive. He can come off ball screens and set ball screens. He basically is an all-around player.”Henderson, a 6-foot point guard from John Marshall High School in Richmond, Virginia, listed a litany of skills Ament has.
He can play point guard offensively. At 6-9, he is tall enough to shoot over defenders. He has a balanced offensive approach, knowing when to get to his spots and shoot and when to make a wise pass.
