Commitment: Jalen Gilbert 6-1 185 DB Round Rock, TX

[BrentVU]

Commits to Vandy over offers from Washington State, Arizona State, West Virginia, and UNLV... he had been previously committed to Washington State for about six weeks this fall.

He had five interceptions his senior season and they are the first five plays that come up on this senior film: https://www.maxpreps.com/tx/round-rock/ ... 1nk3oq6hff

He is commitment No. 19 for 2023 and definitely helps address a need (Martel Hight is the other DB to commit). He is also the third guy to commit after making an official visit last weekend.

Agreed. Somehow I think the coaches also know that.

This is a position of need. Great news.

Any indication of his speed

He's sub 11 seconds in 100 meter. Not an absolute burner but has enough speed to close, and more than enough for safety.
