Clark Lea and the Vanderbilt staff have been extremely successful on the 2026 recruiting trail, so much so that the Commodores have even been able to turn some attention to the class of 2027.

This week, Lea's efforts began to pay off as Vanderbilt landed its first commitment of the 2027 class, adding 3-Star quarterback Luke Babin from Woodville, Texas. He took to social media on Wednesday, September 24 to share the news.

"Excited to announce my commitment to [Vanderbilt]," Babin wrote in his post, "Grateful for my family, coaches and teammates who've supported me on this journey. Thank you to [Clark Lea, Tim Beck Garrett Altman]. Ready to grow and make Commodore nation proud."

Standing at 6-foot-2, 175 lbs., Babin has an impressive build for a player in just his junior season. He is ranked as the No. 27 quarterback in the class and the No. 53 player in the state of Texas, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.

Through just four games as a junior for Woodville High School this season, Babin has completed 64 percent of his throws for 915 yards and eleven touchdowns. He's also added 24 rush attempts for 277 yards and four more scores.

On top of his prowess on the football field, Babin is also prolific in track and field. According to MileSplit, he posted an impressive 22.68 second 200 meter dash in 2025, and in 2024, a 14.47 second time in the 110 meter hurdle.

The Texas native is Vanderbilt's first commitment of the class, but the Commodores have been extremely active on the recruiting trail, lining up visits and extending offers.
