Grant Haviland, a standout tight end from Milton High School in Alpharetta, Georgia, has committed to the Vanderbilt Commodores, marking a significant recruiting victory for the program. Haviland, who is ranked as the No. 1 tight end in the country by ESPN, chose Vanderbilt over other top programs, including the Georgia Bulldogs and Ohio State Buckeyes. At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, he showcases a combination of size and speed, having recorded 343 receiving yards and four touchdowns last season. With a 3.9 GPA, Haviland is well-prepared for the academic demands at Vanderbilt, known for its rigorous standards. His commitment adds to Vanderbilt's three total commitments for the class of 2027, which includes four-star linebacker Omarii Sanders. Haviland aims to conclude his high school career with a state championship in 2026 after Milton advanced to the second round of the GHSA 5A state playoffs last season.
