Two days before the early signing period, Vanderbilt added its 21st player to the 2019 recruiting class.
Nate Clifton, who plays just down the road at Brentwood Academy, is a 6’5”, 250-pound lineman for the state champion Eagles. He’s currently ranked as the #176 offensive tackle prospect in the country in the 247 Sports composite, though (like several other linemen in this class) he’d need to add a considerable amount of weight to play that position in the SEC. Rivals currently rates Clifton as a two-star recruit. Clifton also plays on the defensive line at Brentwood Academy and might end up on that side of the ball.
