Vanderbilt dips into Georgia to pick up commitment from 2021 offensive tackle
The Vanderbilt Commodores are off to a bit of a slow start on the 2021 recruiting trails, but on Sunday, they got some good news.
For their eighth 2021 commitment, the Commodores went into Georgia to land a big offensive tackle for their class.
As you can see below, East Coweta OL Gage Pitchford took to Twitter to announce his commitment to the Vanderbilt program:

Pitchford has yet to be rated by any of the major recruiting services, but the rising senior checks in at 6-6 and 280 pounds, per his 247Sports page.
The Commodores now have 8 players in their 2021 recruiting class, which currently ranks No. 77 nationally and No. 13 in the SEC, per 247Sports.

Over the weekend I watched a Vandy vs. Tennessee game(SEC Channel) from some years ago….Jay Cutler was the QB and a running back, #22 was a heckuva runner. In that game Vandy led Tennessee for most of the game and Vanderbilt Football was Competitive. I Believe the Head Coach was Bobby Johnson(not sure of that). Phil Fulmer was coaching the Vols. my Question is this…What Happened to Vandy football ? James Franklin had it humming too…but now…totally Irrelevant and the Administration does not seem to care. For Vandy a Six(6) Win Season is possible…but no more ?
