Clark Lea and the Vanderbilt staff added another commitment to the 2026 class on Tuesday, locking in 3-Star wide receiver Keeyshawn Tabuteau from Chattanooga, Tennessee. He was in Nashville for an official visit on June 13 and announces his commitment just days later.
The 5-foot-11, 165 lb. wideout took to social media to confirm the news.

Ranked by 247Sports' composite ranking as the No. 87 wide receiver in the nation and the No. 16 player in the Volunteer State, Tabuteau has the ability to both operate underneath in the slot and also stretch the field with his incredible speed.
In two seasons of varsity football for the McCallie Blue Tornado, the Chattanooga native has compiled over 1,200 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns. He also has nearly 300 rushing yards in that same span with two more touchdowns.
Tabuteau is a multi-sport athlete, also suiting up for his school's track and field team. As a junior, he ran a blazing fast 10.81 second 100-meter dash and a 23.27 second 200-meter.
With the addition of Tabuteau, the Commodores once again sit at 13 commitments in the 2026 recruiting class. While it got off to a bit of a slower start than some maybe anticipated, Lea and the staff have put together a strong official visit season so far and are set up well for the fall.
