Odds on Where 4-Star WR Tyler Vaughns Commits to on Wednesday

One of the nation’s most explosive playmakers will come off the board on Wednesday when 4-star receiver Tyler Vaughns announces his commitment.

According to Scout’s Greg Biggins, Vaughns will choose from a group of four finalists that include Alabama, Georgia, USC and Washington.

The 6’3”, 175-pounder is the nation’s No. 2 wideout and the No. 33 player overall in the 2016 class. As a junior, Vaughns hauled in 83 receptions for 1,183 yards and 12 touchdowns, according to MaxPreps.

Which school holds the inside track on landing the Golden State speedster? 

Let’s break down the odds for each of his finalists.

Alabama and Georgia: 25-1

Two of the finalists in the race to land Vaughns are SEC powers Alabama and Georgia. 

Both programs extended offers to Vaughns earlier in the spring, and both have a high need for receivers in the 2016 cycle.

However, neither school has been able to get him on campus for a visit. 

While both programs have proven themselves as powerhouses in the recruiting world, it’s hard to imagine Vaughns choosing to leave California and attend either school sight unseen.

Washington: 12-1 

Vaughns visited Washington last season when they hosted Arizona State, according to Scout’s Scott Eklund.

While the Huskies are rebuilding under second-year head coach Chris Petersen, Vaughns came away from the visit high on the Huskies program and its potential to grow in the future.

“The school was really impressive,” Vaughns told Eklund. “I really liked the facilities and the academic stuff they showed us. They support their players well, and they are like a family. The coaches are great, and I really like what the program there and the school have to offer.”

That visit will have to be the lasting impression on the mind of Vaughns if the Huskies are indeed the pick.

USC: 5-1

USC has been the longtime favorite to land Vaughns, and there are a few reasons that is the case.

For starters, Trojans head coach Steve Sarkisian and his staff also have the receiver position as a priority in the 2016 cycle.

USC already has three receivers committed in its 2016 class, including Vaughns’ prep teammate and fellow 4-star Trevon Sidney.

The Trojans have proximity to home in their favor, and they were able to host him last week, as he visited to watch the team’s first two practices of fall camp, as noted by Scott Schrader of FightOn247.

As noted by Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports, USC is Vaughns’ childhood favorite.

“I grew up watching USC and everything,” Vaughns told Wiltfong. “That was my first school and my first offer so that was pretty big.”

Taking all of those factors into consideration, it would be a huge shock if Vaughns announces for any program other than USC on Wednesday.
