2015 RBs huge numbers lead to SEC interest
As one of the more prolific rushers in the state of Tennessee, many would expect Nashville (Tenn.) Pearl-Cohn running back KeShawn Vaughn to be receiving a little more interest at this point in his career.
But after leading his team to a playoff berth, and a playoff win this past week, Vaughn is due for an uptick in interest this offseason.

"I've been getting mail from Missouri, Vanderbilt and Kentucky so far," Vaughn said. "I think Vanderbilt is pretty interested."
Vaughn has been on the Commodores radar since the summer, when he impressed at camp.
"I went to camps at Tennessee and Vanderbilt," he said. 'When were working in our position groups at Vanderbilt the coaches told me they really liked me."
Once the contact period opened on Sept. 1, Vaughn said the staff reached out via personal letters.
"They've been sending me hand-written letters," Vaughn said. "I want to go there and visit. I haven't been to any games as a recruit. I want to see what a real football game is like up close and personal."
Through his team's first nine games, the 5-foot-11, 210-pound Vaughn rushed for 1,785 yards and 25 touchdowns while averaging 11 yards per carry.
