Vanderbilt picked up some offensive firepower this weekend, landing their first 2024 commitment in McCallie (Tenn.) quarterback Jeremy St-Hilaire, who announced he was officially a Commodore on Saturday afternoon.

The 6-foot-4, 220-pound quarterback told VandySportsDotCom that the Commodores initially became involved in his recruitment process this past November. On Dec. 1st, St-Hilaire picked up an offer from Vanderbilt.

St-Hilaire said he was frequently communicating with Vanderbilt's coaching staff, connecting with offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Joey Lynch. He added that he liked how Coach Lynch was creating a culture that players like.

"Since late November. And since then, we've been talking every week. I talk a lot with Coach Lynch. What stood out the most was he's big about family and he treats the players like family. That creates a culture that a lot of players like. You need that if you want to feel at home."

The in-state gunslinger stopped by West End for a visit with Vanderbilt on Jan. 28th for their Jr. Day. He said he really enjoyed getting to know the Commodores' program more, and liked that the coaching staff has a clear vision for greatness in the future.

During his visit, St-Hilaire said that he spent nearly the entire day with Coach Lynch and assistant quarterback coach Trenton Kirklin, and learned a lot on the field and in the film room.

"It was great. I really enjoyed it. The thing that stood out the most is their vision for greatness in the future. They have their plan and are ready to make it happen."

St-Hilaire said that Vanderbilt has been building something special and he knows that Coach Lynch can both develop quarterbacks and bring the best out of someone.

"They are building something special. Coach Lynch is a great quarterback developer and can bring the best out of someone."
