A Look At Vanderbilt Football's 2021 Recruiting Class
Head coach Derek Mason and his staff are hard at work on the recruiting trail looking to complete the remainder of their 2021 class. While there is still a long time between now and the start of the early signing period for college football, the Commodores are involved in battles for commitments from coveted players.
The Coronavirus pandemic has changed the world of college recruiting and forced coaches and players alike to use technology rather than in-person contacts. Still, teams are doing their best to adapt and continue building their future rosters despite the lack of contact or the ability to have players visit campuses.
The Commodores currently have four commitments to the 2021 class, two defensive linemen, one offensive lineman, and a wide receiver, leaving at minimum 21 scholarships available to other recruits.
COMMITS
Jack Bech- 6'1" 203 WR, St. Thomas More High School, Lafayette, LA: A talented three-star prospect who could see his rankings grow in his senior season.
Terion Sugick- 6'2.5" 288 DT, National Christian Academy, Fort Washington, MD: The most recent commit, Sugick is a three-star prospect who has tremendous quickness and a high motor with a high ceiling.
Tyler Bence- 6'3" 273 DT, Huntsville High School, Huntsville, AL: A three-star prospect with a big frame that can add more weight and muscle, Bence is a solid addition to this class.
Jake Ketscheck- 6'4" 318 OT, St. Augustine Prep, Richland, NJ: A versatile, big young man who currently holds a three-star ranking. Listed as a tackle, he has also played guard in high school and will get a look there with the Commodores.
