Vanderbilt stays hot in recruiting, lands commit from Louisiana DB prospect
Published:
One day after receiving his first scholarship offer from an SEC program, Geismar, La., defensive back Adam Sparks has committed to Vanderbilt.
While participating in a weekend camp, Sparks caught the eye of the Commodores coaching staff and landed a scholarship offer. The offer proved to be the one Sparks was waiting on, as he quickly took to Twitter to announce his commitment Monday:

The 6-foot, 170-pound Sparks is rated as a three-star prospect and the No. 55 overall prospect from Louisiana according to 247Sports. Sparks committed to the Commodores over offers from Colorado State, Louisiana Tech, Louisiana-Monroe, SMU and Tulane. The defender has also received interest from Arizona State but had yet to receive an offer from the school.
Judging by his junior highlight reel, Sparks has a tremendous knack of forcing turnovers and could be a real asset on Derek Mason’s already talented defense:
Vanderbilt now has nine total commitments pledged to the 2017 recruiting class. That number is still relatively low, however the Commodores had only one commit just over a week ago. Now with momentum on it side, the Vanderbilt’s class should only continue to grow before the season kicks off.
