Vandy adds 3-star OLB target to its 2018 class

National Signing Day has come and gone, but we've still seen teams continue to add pieces to their 2018 recruiting class.

Vanderbilt now included, as longtime outside linebacker target Salua Masina has become the latest addition to the Commodores' class.

The three-star rated prospect visited Vanderbilt during the summer and participated in their Friday Night Lights camp and was communicating with inside linebackers coach Chris Marve.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound prospect chose the Commodores over the likes of Cal, Utah, and Arizona State.

Masina becomes the third linebacker in Vanderbilt's 2018 signing class, joining the likes of Alston Orji of Rockwall (Tex.) and Elijah McCallister of Fair Haven (N.J.).

RIVALS' TAKE:

"Masina has good length and he’s smooth in coverage, but the four-star linebacker is thin and needs to develop physically to compete for early playing time in college. During cat-and-mouse drills, Masina was solid and defended well against running backs and he’s done well this offseason because he’s long and agile. But he definitely needs to continue to develop physically to have an impact on the game and that was a concern coming out of the Five-Star Challenge."
