Brock Vandagriff, the highly-touted five-star quarterback from Georgia, is on the brink of making a pivotal decision regarding his college football career. With three schools in the mix – Kentucky, South Carolina, and Mississippi State – and decision day looming, the spotlight is particularly focused on Kentucky, as Vandagriff is rumored to be favoring the Wildcats.

Vandagriff, a standout player in high school, garnered attention for his exceptional skills on the field. His potential as a quarterback has placed him on the radar of several college programs. With its promising football program and recent successes, Kentucky has emerged as the frontrunner in the race to secure Vandagriff's commitment.

However, it's crucial to acknowledge the Gamecocks' role in Vandagriff's journey. Out of high school, he expressed significant interest in South Carolina, making his current decision-making process all the more intriguing. Despite the Gamecocks currently having a potential heir apparent in LaNorris Sellers on their roster, Vandagriff would likely be brought in for competition, vying for the starting role with the team.

Mississippi State is also a contender in the Vandagriff sweepstakes. The Bulldogs bring their own strengths to the table, with Jeff Lebby as their new head coach, an offensive genius, and one of the top QB developers in the game, Mississippi State has been linked to multiple good QBs since the hire. With starter Will Rogers transferring out, a quarterback like Brock Vandagriff could fit in well in Starkville.

Will Vandagriff choose the Wildcats, who currently hold the favorite status, or will he opt for a different path with the Gamecocks or Bulldogs? Only time will reveal the next chapter in Brock Vandagriff's football journey.
