BYU Football Recruiting: Khari Vanderbilt Commits to the Cougars

Khari Vanderbilt, defensive back out of San Jose City College, committed to play for BYU in 2015. At 6'3 and 185 pounds, with a 4.5 40-yard dash, Vanderbilt is a nice addition for the Cougars as they will be losing Craig Bills, Robertson Daniel, and Jordan Johnson after this season. Vanderbilt has good closing speed and is a solid open field tackler. He is also a good pass protector and comes up on runs well, too.

Just Committed To BYU ✊

BYU has got a lot of mileage out of California JUCO defensive backs like Omar Morgan, Brian Gray, Heshimu Robertson, and Chris Ellison. Did I leave anybody out? Geoff Martzen and Nick Howell have both used hashtags #noflyzone and #2015chosenones on twitter in describing the 2015 defensive recruiting class.

Here's what Vanderbilt potentially brings to the Cougars:
