Recruiting Season Is Here For Vanderbilt Football

Vanderbilt head football coach Derek Mason and his staff are on the road recruiting as the early signing period of college football begins this week. Who, and how many of the current list of commitments will sign with the Commodores this week is unknown.

National signing day for high school football seniors with scholarship offers is not until February, 5th, but for those who are set in their decisions, the early signing period is almost here. 

Football’s early signing period offers high school recruits the option of signing their National Letters of Intent to the schools of their choice and ending their recruitment well before National Signing Day. That option is a blessing to many who have grown tired of the entire process and want to return to a normal life away from the calls and letters. 

The early signing begins this Wednesday, December 18 and is open until Friday, December. 20 where players can submit and colleges can accept their National Letters of Intent to sigh with each school. 

This is a key signing class for Vanderbilt head coach Derek Mason and his staff. Coming off a 3-9 season in which the team struggled most of the season, Mason and company need to fill some key spots on the roster.

Though not highly ranked (72 nationally) by the recruiting services, still this current group of Commodore commits is a collection of young men who want Vanderbilt. It's huge that commits currently in this class eventually signs with them, either now or in February.  

This class currently has but 12 commitments, meaning that there are still spots available for other players to join the Commodores.

Mason and staff have been on the road recruiting since the end of their season and hopefully, they will be able to add numbers to this class.
