Vanderbilt Secures Visits from Top 2026 Recruits to Rebuild Roster
30 Jul
Summary
- Vanderbilt targeting elite 2026 prospects to rebuild roster
- 4-star power forward Jalan Wingfield names Vanderbilt in top 8 schools
- Commodores have locked in official visits with several talented 2026 recruits

Vanderbilt's head coach Mark Byington is looking to mesh a nearly entirely new roster this summer. Earlier this week, the Commodores landed on the list of final schools for elite 2026 small forward Gage Mayfield. On Wednesday, the team received more good news on the recruiting trail, as 4-star power forward Jalan Wingfield officially named Vanderbilt in his top eight schools.
Ranked as the No. 7 player in the state of Georgia, the 6-foot-8, 225-pound Wingfield is a dynamic talent on both ends of the floor. As a junior, he averaged 16 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.2 blocks per game for Tri-Cities High School. Vanderbilt is competing with the likes of Cincinnati, Kennesaw State, Georgia Tech, Florida State, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and Auburn for Wingfield's commitment.
While Vanderbilt does not currently hold any commitments for the 2026 class, the team has locked in official visits with several talented prospects. The Commodores are working hard to rebuild their roster with a nearly entirely new group of players this summer.
