DAPHNE HEAD COACH GLENN VICKERY "Torren McGaster is one of the best corners in this state, and arguably the most physical corner in Alabama. He will bring a lot of talent, great leadership and hard work to the Vanderbilt football team.

"Torren's just been an excellent lock-down corner for us. This year, I think it took six games before one of our opponents completed a pass against him.

"Torren is a guy that brings tremendous attitude and work ethic, and just loves to compete. He has a tremendous future ahead of him at Vanderbilt."
