Coach Mason was able to add commit number nine as up-and-coming 6-foot-5 tight end made the call to commit to Vanderbilt.
SEC Media day was quite the adventure for Derek Mason on his second go round in Hoover. Just hours after speaking, Coach Mason and his staff received their 9th commit for the 2016 class. Turner Cockrell, a tight end from from Allatoona HS in Acworth, GA, anchored down on Tuesday afternoon. This was big news after receiving some not so good news last night when Vandy target Damarea Crockett committed to Boise State over the Commodores.
