Commitment: Dante Kelly 6-3 203 ATH Itta Bena MS

Post by BrentVU »

Played at Leflore County HS... was previously committed to Mississippi State but de-committed from there about six weeks ago... offers from Mississippi State, Arkansas State, Memphis, and others... visited Vandy back in the spring for the spring game and picked up an offer that weekend... led Leflore County to a region championship and 8-3 overall record his senior year; had 5.5 sacks and four interceptions... was probably recruited to play the "anchor" position (linebacker/safety) at Vandy.

Class of #GoldStandard23 is now back up to 16. Just my thought... this probably fills the spot in the class vacated by Kelvon McBride, who de-committed last Friday.

All I know is he is 100,000,000% committed. I’m guessing that’s more committed than he was to Mississippi State.

He plays like a grown man against kids in junior high school.

I loved the play where he comes through the line and just takes the pitch from the QB, jogs into the end zone a couple of yards away, and just stands there. LOL

As I am likely one of the few VandyManiacs who not only know where Itta Bena is, but have driven through the town 25 or more times and even stopped there (for gas and/or snacks) a dozen times or so I'd like to welcome the young man to Vandy.
