Vanderbilt football offensive preview: New-look offense looks suited to run behind Sedrick Alexander, others
- Vanderbilt will replace Diego Pavia with Blaze Berlowitz and Jared Curtis, with Berlowitz bringing four years in the system, zone-read value and the most consistent short-to-intermediate passing from camp.
- A run-first approach is likely behind all-around lead back Sedrick Alexander, explosive MK Young and freshman camp standout Evan Hampton, with Alexander deliberately preserved during camp to keep him fresh.
- Wide receiver is Vanderbilt's most uncertain offensive room after August consistency and health problems, including Junior Sherrill's fall drops, Ja'Cory Thomas's spring leg injury and two missed August weeks for Cole Adams.
- Vanderbilt will replace Eli Stowers through a committee led by reliable Cole Spence, big-play transfer Jayvontay Conner and converted quarterback Walter Taylor, whose size gives him red-zone value despite limited tight-end experience.
- Vanderbilt expects to run behind guard Cade McConnell and Pitt transfer center Lyndon Cooper, while experienced transfers Clinton Azubuike, Orion Irving and Beau Johnson provide the leading tackle options.
