As the early signing period draws closer, so does the end of high school playoff football. Several Vanderbilt commits are suiting up this week for a chance to take home the ultimate goal of a state championship, while one is still looking to book his ticket to the title game.
Take a look at how these six Commodores commits have helped keep their teams alive throughout the postseason, and learn which player is still fighting for a berth in the championship.

Vollmer has been nothing short of sensational throughout his senior season thus far, culminating in a state title game appearance for his team. The St. Xavier Bombers are set to face off against undefeated Olentangy Orange High School from Lewis Center, Ohio on December 5 for a chance at the championship trophy.
The 3-star athlete has spent time on both sides of the ball through St. Xavier’s 13 games, compiling nearly 1,000 all purpose yards with 11 total touchdowns, as well as 26 tackles, 4.5 TFL’s and 3.5 sacks. He’s been one of the most consistent performers in the Commodores’ 2026 class, and is likely to continue that trend throughout the final game of the season.
4-Star RB Evan Hampton – Owensboro High School (Owensboro, Kentucky)
Last Game (11/28) – Owensboro (12-2) 49, Woodford County (12-2) 6
