Though unrated by major recruiting outlets, Ferguson looks to be a high potential prospect. He stands at 6-foot-4, 236 lbs., giving him a perfect build for the position. Across three years of varsity football for the Northside Christian Mustangs, Ferguson has 108 total tackles, 24 of which came for a loss.
The underrated defender also has 10.5 sacks, four pass deflections, a two forced fumbles to his name.
As of now, Ferguson holds scholarship offers from just four schools: Vanderbilt, Georgia, UCONN and Syracuse. His upcoming June 5th trip to Nashville is his only official visit lined up.
Vanderbilt currently holds two commitments for the 2026 recruiting class and is ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 56 team in the nation. While it has been a somewhat slow start, the Commodores look to be in the mix for a wide array of prospects at many positions.
