The hot streak continues for Clark Lea and the Commodores as Vanderbilt added yet another commitment to the 2026 recruiting class following another weekend of official visitors.

3-Star tight end Adam Gehm from Harmony, Pennsylvania took to social media on Monday to make his announcement. He was in town for an official visit on June 6.

Standing at 6-foot-6, 235 lbs., Gehm is a bit of an anomaly at the tight end position. He is extremely athletic and uses his lengthy frame to haul in contested catches, but needs to possibly bulk up a bit at the next level in order to become a solid option as a blocker.

He spoke with Vanderbilt Commodores on SI following his most recent official visit, opening up briefly on his relationship with the Vanderbilt staff and his reaction to seeing Nashville.

Gehm said, "My relationship with the staff has been unbelievable and is the most driving factor in my recruitment. (...) The program is heading in the right direction with the new staff, and, coming off a positive season, it's easy to see the vision for the next few years."

The Commodores now hold eleven commitments in the 2026 recruiting class and are ranked by On3's team rankings as the No. 35 class in the nation. If the hot streak can continue for Lea and his staff, Vanderbilt could very well be closing in on the best class in recent program history.
