Jerrell Priester Update

Tonight I spoke with Jerrell Priester (3-Star athlete) from Allendale, SC. Jerrell told me that he was still committed to Vanderbilt, but also considering Kentucky. He recently took an official visit to UK and enjoyed his visit and will take one to Vanderbilt soon. After his Vandy visit, he will sit down and with his family and coach to make a final decision between the two schools.

Jerrell really likes Joker Phillips and feels Kentucky football is on the rise. However, Jerrell really likes the academics that Vanderbilt has to offer. I asked Jerrell about his grades and he told me he had no issues with Kentucky, but needed a higher score on his ACT for Vanderbilt. The Vandy staff is selling Jerrell on going to prep school if he doesn't get the test score and he seems pretty open to doing so if necessary.

Based on our conversation, Vanderbilt is primarily recruiting him as a defensive back. Joker Phillips has talked to him about playing on both sides of the ball. Jerrell has no preference and feels he will make an impact wherever he plays on the field.

Without a doubt, Jerrell Priester is one of the most well mannered student athletes I have ever spoken to. He will be a great addition to any school he attends.
