4-Star athlete Joel Wyatt from The Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee is down to just Vanderbilt and Tennessee and will be making his commitment on July 6, according to On3.

The 6-foot-4, 195 lb. prospect lines up as both a wide receiver and defensive back and even suits up for his high school's basketball team as well. He has played varsity football since his eighth grade year, but his junior season was his most productive.
Wyatt finished 2024 with nearly 900 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as well as 31 total tackles, 3.0 TFL's and a fumble recovery.
He was in Nashville for an official visit on June 13, alongside current Vanderbilt commits Keeyshawn Tabuteau and Daniel Vollmer as well as several other Commodores' targets.
As of now, Vanderbilt holds 13 commitments in the 2026 recruiting class and have seen a significant leap up recruiting rankings. If Lea and the staff can continue to build on what looks to be a strong foundation, the Commodores could be looking at one of the best classes in recent history.
