Vanderbilt’s Tough Preseason Outlook | Vanderbilt Commodores Football News

Vanderbilt football got a brutal preseason SEC media poll nod—projected to finish 13th, ahead of only three teams, with no players earning All-SEC honors. Despite a solid 6-2 conference record last season, the Commodores are losing key stars like their Heisman runner-up QB and All-American tight end, while relying on a flashy freshman QB. The SEC’s new nine-game conference schedule adds pressure, and with Georgia and Texas topping the poll, Vanderbilt’s path looks steep. Still, with 751 votes—just one spot behind Auburn—they’re not out of the game. The real test? How they perform when the season actually starts.

Vanderbilt Lands Top-Tier Kicker | Vanderbilt Commodores Football News

Vanderbilt football just pulled off a quiet but major win in the 2027 recruiting class by landing five-star kicker Ben Brewer — their first specialist commit for the year and Tennessee’s No. 2 kicker. Standing 6’1” and weighing 190 lbs, Brewer impressed scouts with his leg strength and kickoff power, earning top marks from Kohl’s Kicking. His commitment fills a critical need as current kicker Brock Taylor heads into his senior season, and Vanderbilt’s special teams staff sees him as the next big thing — with the potential to compete at the FBS level and build depth for the future.
