Vanderbilt football flips three-star ATH Savion Riley from Duke

Three-star athlete Savion Riley announced his commitment to Vanderbilt football on Monday evening.

Riley, from Acworth, Georgia, was committed to Duke but decommitted on Sunday shortly after taking his official visit to Vanderbilt last weekend. He also had offers from Wake Forest and Maryland.

Mostly a receiver in high school, he was recruited by defensive backs coach LaMar Morgan and defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to the Commodores, indicating he'd be used on the defensive side.

Riley makes the third athlete committed to Vanderbilt for 2022, with Trudell Berry and KD Hutchinson the others.

Quarterback commit AJ Swann expressed his excitement for Riley's commitment on Twitter.
