Vanderbilt Commodores Land Top 2026 Outfield Recruit

The Vanderbilt Commodores are hard at work this season preparing for what they hope will be another successful season under the watchful eye of Tim Corbin.

Corbin is quickly approaching his 23rd season as coach of the Vandy boys and has helped lead the program to four Southeastern Conference Championships, five College World Series appearances and two National Championships, thanks to strong recruiting and even better development.

As the program prepares for the 2025 season, it’s never too early to look to the future, and Corbin’s recruiting power has once again shown its hand and landed a top recruit from the 2026 field.

Wilson, a left-handed hitter from McCallie High School in Ooltewah, Tennessee, is 17 years old and last played for the San Diego Padres 16U scout team.

At 6-foot-4 and 195 pounds, the young outfielder has plenty of time to add more muscle to his lanky frame and could be a solid power threat at the collegiate level after hitting two home runs at the 16U WWBA.

He can move for his size and posts a 6.45 in the 60 yard dash, making him a dual threat for power and speed on the basepaths.

His speed could play a big role in his development in the outfield, potentially giving him the range needed to man center field with ease and track down the toughest fly balls.

Wilson joins a 2026 Vandy recruiting class that was ranked 11th before his commitment per Perfect Game, but will certainly move into the top 10 with their latest addition.
