Meet the 2026 Leadership Council

Your 2026 captains

First and foremost, I want to thank Jesus Christ. Everything I have and everything I call my own has been given to me by Him. He is my guiding light, and l am incredibly grateful for the countless blessings He has placed in my life. Football is my passion, but glorifying His name is my purpose. I truly believe that is why He put me on this earth to use the gifts He has given me to honor Him in everything I do. I also want to thank my parents and my brother for the sacrifices they have made to provide me with opportunities to pursue my dreams. Their unwavering support, love, and encouragement have shaped me into the person I am today, and I could never thank them enough. To all of the coaches who have invested their time, knowledge, and belief in me, thank you for helping me grow both as a player and as a person. Your guidance has had a lasting impact on my journey. I am grateful for everyone who has played a role in helping me get to this point. I am super excited about what's to come!With that being said, I am beyond blessed and honored to announce my commitment to Vanderbilt University to continue my academic and athletic career! Anchor Down! ⚓️ @CfbRalb @SMCHS_Football @CoachDanny10 @GregBiggins @BlairAngulo @TimmyWilcox32 @adamgorney @ocvarsityguy

Become #OneofOne

I believe deeply in this city and this university. On 615 Day, I’m grateful to call both home. To the Class of 2028, Vanderbilt offers an experience that is truly one of one!

Breaking: Four-star OT Jasper Ngokwere commits to Vanderbilt. He’s the ninth commit in the 2027 class for the Commodores, and the second tackle up front.

BREAKING: Four-star OT Jasper Ngokwere has committed to Vanderbilt, he tells me. Jasper is the No. 19 OT in the class of 2027. He chose Vanderbilt over Texas Tech, Texas, and Northwestern. #AnchorDown
