2021 WR decommits from Vanderbilt after landing offer from another SEC school
The Vanderbilt Commodores suffered a big loss in their 2021 recruiting class on Wednesday, as their top-rated commit decided to re-open his recruitment.
That player is 3-star 2021 WR Jack Bech out of Lafayette, Louisiana, and he could be on flip watch soon, as he just landed an offer from LSU on Wednesday, as well.
As you can see below, Bech took to Twitter to announce his decision to decommit from the Commodores:

Per the 247Sports composite rankings, Bech is the No. 72 receiver in the 2021 class and the No. 14 overall recruit from the state of Louisiana.
The Commodores are down to 15 players in their 2021 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 68 in the nation and No. 14 in the SEC, per 247Sports.
Will Vanderbilt’s loss soon become LSU’s gain?
Exactly why early commitments dont mean much. We say this last year many times. A three star isnt getting much attention, then boom they get a call from an upper division school. G5 schools deal with it constantly too which appears to be morphing into a development division for the P5.
we “saw” this last year.
LSU or Vanderbilt? Hmmmmmmmmm
Eh… if you think you’re going to play in the NFL, LSU might be your best option.
But a degree from Vandy looks a lot better and will probably make you more money than LSU’s.
And sadly, almost every kid being recruited thinks he is going to play in the NFL
Sad but true. Also sad that so many dont attend real classes. A degree might come in handy down the road, and speaking English wouldnt hurt.
The Vanderbilt athlete and the great education has become a bit of a ruse in recent years. There are a handful of Einsteins playing on sports teams, but the majority are just staying eligible so they can play by taking general requirement classes. A lot of underclassmen have not declared a major, while a majority of the roster takes one of three majors that are rather easy, like Communication Studies, Human and Organizational Development, or Health. There are a handful of real Einsteins with National Honor Society accolades and majoring in tougher programs, but the days where the roster is littered with pre-med, pre-law, engineering, chemistry, and physics is long gone.
Most of the football players are hoping that their next job is pro football player. Vanderbilt to them is merely the only SEC school that offered 98% of them, and they are hoping for a miracle. They understand that they will lose more conference games in one season than an Alabama player will lose total in four years, but that’s their one choice to play on the big stage.
This kid that decommitted has a chance to play at another SEC school. It’s like thinking you will have to go to work for Double Cola and then out of the blue Coke wants to hire you. Good bye Double Cola; hello to the corporation with the durable competitive advantage.
Well said.
