Breakdown: One of eight seniors who scored 100 or greater on 247Sports’ rating scale, and ESPN’s top-rated defensive tackle, Vanderdoes committed to USC last summer but reopened his recruitment in December.

Georgia, which recently hired a new defensive line coach in Chris Wilson, is considered among the favorites to land the four-star recruit. “My mom really likes Georgia, and they’re my hometown school,” Adams told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in December.
