Defensive coordinator Nick Howell, defensive backs coach Dan Jackson and associate director of high school scouting Darrius Darden-Box played key roles in Hight’s recruitment, Vandy247 reported.
Four of the 10 commitments are defensive players. Hight is the first cornerback in the class after 3-star prospect Kevis Thomas recently decommitted. The Commodores moved from No. 54 to No. 49 in the 247Sports Composite team rankings with Hight’s commitment.
After a great talk with my parents and my coaches, I would like to announce that I’m 110% committed to Vanderbilt University ⚫️🟡⚓️
