Vanderbilt received some good news from the recruiting trail on Friday as it gained the commitment of one of the top defensive tackles in the country.
Marcus Bradley, a senior from Gaithersburg, Md., announced his pledge to the Commodores on his Twitter account.
He becomes the 19th player to commit to the program in the class of 2021.
According to 247Sports, the 6-foot-3, 250-pound Bradley is the No. 14 defensive tackle in the country and the No. 8 player in the state of Maryland regardless of position. He is the sole 4-star recruit in the class thus far and its first since 2018, when the program landed linebacker Alston Orgi.
As a junior, Bradley recorded 41 tackles, along with 5.0 tackles for a loss.
