10-4 Season Record
Vanderbilt enters 2026 with a new starting quarterback and a receiver room built on depth rather than a true field-stretcher. Undersized options Kayleb Barnett, Tristen Brown and Alabama transfer Cole Adams headline a crowded slot group as the Commodores look for an explosive outside presence.
Junior Sherrill returns as Vanderbilt's top wideout after a 54-catch, 784-yard 2025 season, giving a reshaped passing game its steadiest option. The Commodores must replace tight end Eli Stowers (62 receptions) and receiver Tre Richardson (806 yards), both of whom are gone.
