vanderbilt is a school i really wanted an offer from and to finally say i have it, i am so excited about it, said groves. i have been talking with the vanderbilt coaches for a while now. I am already building a comfortable relationship with them and i like what their program represents. The vandy offer is a big one because academics are a big deal for me and i like the idea of playing for my home town team.
i know things are still early with my recruitment so i have a long way to go, but my grades and my progression on the football field is important to me, he said. in the end, i want to be at a place i feel real happy being at but also the school will help me grow as a person. I honestly just feel grateful to be considered a football recruit and the opportunities i have received so far, tells me i am doing the right things.
the three offers i have from kentucky, tennessee and vandy are three offers i really wanted to achieve when i started realizing my football future as a recruit, said groves. i have grown up watching the sec, especially tennessee and vanderbilt. I always told myself i wanted to play in the sec, so to say i have offers from southeastern conference schools, is a major blessing for me and my family.
i dont want to say i have any favorites right now but kentucky, tennessee and vanderbilt are three school i like a lot and plan to keep in the thick of things all the way through. I have visited all three schools this fall so far and loved my visit to all of them. I dont have any set plans right now for any other visits but i do know i will be back to vanderbilt one more time before the season is over.
