Last week, Vilain announced that the Wolverines were one of three finalists with the others being USC Trojans and Virginia Tech Hokies. Media reports indicated the defensive standout took in an unofficial visit on May 21st to the Wolverines and that based on his bond that he developed with Wolverines Defensive Line Coach Greg Mattison, that he opted for them.

Previous to the final three, the #CFC100 defensive star was also considering Alabama Crimson Tide, Boston College Eagles, Duke Blue Devils, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Miami Hurricanes, Michigan State Spartans,Ohio State Buckeyes, Tennessee Vols, UCLA Bruins and North Carolina Tar Heels.

This past weekend was an exciting one not only because of his committment.  Vilain announced via social media that Vilain has also been selected to participate in the 2017 Under Armour All-American Game:
