Brainerd (Tenn.) 2025 ATH Jayun Smith, an intriguing in-state talent, picked up an SEC offer from Vanderbilt this past week. Smith announced the opportunity from the Commodores over social media this past Tuesday.



The 6-foot-1, 180-pound recruiting target out of Chattanooga, TN. sat down with VandySportsDotCom to detail his opportunity from the Commodores, revealing his overall interest in the program.

Smith said the Commodores got involved in his recruitment just recently as he sent out his film this past week.

"It feels great, a very big offer," Smith said. "I just sent out my film four days ago, so it was a short period."

As an in-state recruit, Smith said that it feels great to have the option to play close to home and still be able to see family, friends and possibly compete with old teammates. Smith, who connected with the Commodores' defensive coordinator Nick Howell, added that he hasn't decided on his visit date yet but is eager to learn more about the program.

"Very special to be able to play close to home while still being able to see family, friends and maybe play with old teammates," Smith said. "And I haven't planned on visiting yet... I wanna see a lot more of Vanderbilt, and I liked the defensive coordinator."
