The three-star prospect chose the Commodores over offers from South Carolina, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Central Florida, Maryland, Virginia, Wake Forest, and others, after previously visiting Vanderbilt in March for the spring game and returning for an official visit the weekend of June 14th.

Tight ends coach Devin Fitzsimmons has been the Miami product's main recruiting contact throughout his recruiting process.

"I love how he's energetic all the time and he's the same every time I talk to him," LaMonica said of Fitzsimmons. "He says he likes how I attack the ball and can run good routes and block. He also says my best years of football are ahead of me."

LaMonica becomes Vanderbilt's 13th 2020 commitment and fourth verbal pledge from the state of Florida - joining St. Thomas Aquinas (Fla.) outside linebacker Griffin Lampton, IMG Academy (Fla.) defensive tackle Jordan Butler, and Fletcher (Fla.) offensive tackle Bradley Ashmore.
