Vanderbilt football has the chance to put together a standout 2027 recruiting class after bringing in 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis in 2026.
The Commodores recorded their first 10-win season in program history in 2025, finishing 10-3 and just short of the College Football Playoff thanks to the contributions of Diego Pavia and Eli Stowers. The results from that season resulted in landing Curtis as Pavia’s replacement.
With recruiting season for 2027 underway, Vanderbilt is now building its next class. The early signing period begins Dec. 4.
Here are all of the Commodores’ commits.
This story will be updated.
