U.S. News & World Report 2018

ELITE ACADEMICS IN SCENIC URBAN SETTING Located in Nashville's popular Midtown district, Vanderbilt is regarded among the nation's leading universities. The private research university enrolled 6,885 undergraduate and 5,707 postgraduate students last year. Those students came from all 50 states and countries around the globe.

Vanderbilt students are pleased with their college choice. In fact, the university ranks No. 1 nationally for happiest students, according to Princeton Review's "2018 Best 379 Colleges" survey.

The university was founded 145 years ago when magnate Cornelius "Commodore" Vanderbilt provided an initial endowment.

Vanderbilt holds charter membership in the Southeastern Conference and remains its lone private institution.

The campus is just west of downtown Nashville on a scenic property that is designated as a national arboretum. Two areas of campus closed to vehicles – the Peabody campus and the collection of academic buildings surrounding Kirkland Hall that form the original campus – are frequently named among the South's most beautiful college environments.

OUR CITY: NASHVILLE

MUSIC CITY'S APPEAL CONTINUES TO GROW Vanderbilt's hometown of Nashville is one of America's most vibrant cities. It is also recognized among the nation's most appealing locations for young professionals seeking opportunity and tourists in search of a fun, exciting weekend.

It seems everybody's jumping on the Nashville bandwagon.

Vanderbilt students, faculty, staff and visitors cite Music City as one of the leading perks of the university, which is located in the popular Midtown district just two miles from a bustling downtown.

Nashville has become one of the nation's top urban attractions, offering all of the charm and hospitality one expects from a grand Southern capital city with the amenities expected in the largest destinations.

The secret is out on Nashville and its surrounding population of nearly 1.7 million. Popular magazines rave about the city's diversity in attractions, accommodations and niche districts. The city's downtown is exploding with retail and residential growth, and an array of entertainment alternatives for all ages.

The city enjoys a top job market for young adults, unique neighborhoods and parks for its residents, and an abundance of unique commercial districts virtually encircling downtown.

NASHVILLE: SPORTS, ENTERTAINMENT GALORE In a city historically known for making great music, Nashville is fast becoming a haven for sports fans.

Nashville is starting to develop a national reputation as a superb locale for college and professional sports.

For lovers of college sports, Vanderbilt is enjoying athletic success while exposing Nashville residents to other SEC programs.

Residents also have two professional franchises to follow: the NFL's Tennessee Titans and NHL's Nashville Predators. The Titans are expected to contend this year in the AFC South Division. In 2017, the nation discovered Smashville, the nickname fondly created by the Predators, as Nashville's NHL franchise advanced to the Stanley Cup finals.

Nashville's musical roots remain strong. CMA Fest brings more than 100,000 fans to downtown each June.

Bridgestone Arena, which hosts SEC and NCAA basketball tournaments, is one of the nation's busiest midsize concert venues.

On campus, Vanderbilt Stadium is set to host Beyonce and Jay-Z in concert this summer. U2, Dave Matthews Band and Luke Bryan have played the stadium in recent years.

TEAM OUTLOOK

MASON LOOKS FOR MORE IMPROVEMENT IN SQUAD Head coach Derek Mason will welcome an eager Vanderbilt squad with plenty to prove when he starts his fifth season on campus this August.

Forty-five letterwinners from the 2017 squad, including 16 position players who started multiple games, are expected to greet Mason when preseason camp opens Aug. 2. The returnees include seven position starters and 22 letterwinners on offense, four starters and 22 letterwinners on defense and two letterwinners back on special teams.

The 2018 Commodores will look to improve off a 2017 campaign which begins with impressive wins over Middle Tennessee, Alabama A&M and nationally-ranked Kansas State. After struggling following back-to-back losses to eventual national champion Alabama and national runner-up Georgia, the Dores capped the season with a 42-24 victory at Tennessee.

Mason believes Vanderbilt fans will find plenty to support from an energetic and focused roster which features 62 freshmen and sophomores.

"I'm excited to get back on the practice field and I know our players are ready to get back to work," Mason said. "Every player and coach is focused and committed to getting better. Our veterans have been leading and the buy-in from our younger players has been outstanding. Everybody's rowing in the same direction, with the goal of winning games and representing Vanderbilt University to our very best."

Off the field, Mason has strengthened his staff by adding four new coaches: Jason Tarver (defensive coordinator/outside linebackers), Shawn Mennenga (special teams coordinator); Aaron Moorehead (wide receivers) and Terrence Brown (cornerbacks).

The team enters its fourth year with head strength coach James Dobson, whose program has dramatically improved conditioning, strength and power throughout the Commodore roster.

14

KEYS TO COMMODORE SUCCESS EFFICIENT, BALANCED ATTACK ON OFFENSE

With proven QB Kyle Shurmur leading an offense that features all five starters back on the offensive line, the Dores will look to create greater balance in order to maximize production. Limiting turnovers and improved red-zone efficency will be critical.

CREATING MORE DEFENSIVE TURNOVERS

The message from new DC Jason Tarver has been clear: create turnovers with physical, opportunistic play. Tarver's motto – just get off the field, with a premium on third-down & red-zone efficiency.

The offense features standout quarterback and All-SEC candidate Kyle Shurmur, wide receiver Kalija Lipscomb, tight end Jared Pinkney and linemen Devin Cochran, Egidio DellaRipa, Bruno Reagan, Justin Skule and Saige Young.

Top defensive returnees include outside linebacker Charles Wright, cornerback Joejuan Williams, safety LaDarius Wiley, and brothers Dare and Dayo Odeyingbo.

Vanderbilt hosts Middle Tennessee in the opener at Vanderbilt Stadium on Sept. 1. The 2018 slate features six more games on campus: Nevada on Sept. 8, South Carolina on Sept. 22, Tennessee State on Sept. 29, Florida on Oct. 13, Ole Miss on Nov. 17 and Tennessee on Nov. 18.

yards per reception and 21.0 yards on occasional rushes. Pierce saw limited action as a freshman in 2017 and developed significantly during the spring drills. Ellis provides excellent hands and knowledge of the offense as a quality third-down target. Stump becomes eligible this fall after transferring to West End from Ohio State.

Other returnees at wide receiver are Jackson Winrow (So.), James Sam Dobbs......................Sr....... 3L Bostic (R-Fr.) and Keithian Starling Jared Pinkney...................Jr....... 2L (So.).

The Commodores will feature one of the SEC's top tight end targets in Jared Pinkney. After catching 22 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns last year, the physical junior could be in for a breakout campaign this season.

Senior Sam Dobbs also is a viable receiving target at tight end. In 2017, he posted eight receptions.

Two sophomores, Cody Markel and Braden Kopp, look to bring physicality to the Commodore rushing attack from the tight end position. Another sophomore, Turner Cockrell, adds a receiving threat at the position.

The Commodores also added two tight ends in their 2018 signing class: Ben Bresnahan and Gavin Schoenwald.

Cochran became the Commodores' starting right tackle last year as a redshirt freshman.

OFFENSIVE LINE STARTERS BACK: 5 LETTERWINNERS: 6 One year after lacking veteran experience and leadership on the offensive front, Vanderbilt enters this season with all five starters and a top reserve returning and several young prospects ready to break into the Commodore rotation.

Two seniors, Justin Skule and Bruno Reagan, anchor assistant coach Cameron Norcross's offensive line. Both Skule and Reagan are productive two-year starters who have played multiple positions during their Commodore careers.

Skule put together a solid campaign protecting Kyle Shurmur's blindside.

A 27-game career starter, Skule should be formidable against oncoming pass rushers after playing his first full season at left tackle.

SAIGE YOUNG

Senior Egidio DellaRipa, who started the last eight games at guard last year, spent the spring taking over for Reagan at center.

Jared Southers (Jr.) started four games last year, and provides more veteran experience at the guard position. Cole Clemens returns after seeing playing time as a true freshman.

The coaches believe Sean McMoore (So.) also can push for the starting center position this summer.

David Floyd (Jr.) is a potential swing player at tackle or guard.

Three talented redshirt freshmen - Bryce Bailey, Grant Miller and Jonathan Stewart - also will compete for playing time this August.

The Commodores also added three new offensive line prospects, two coming in the 2018 signing class and a third arriving as a transfer from California. They are Dan Dawkins Jr. (Fr.), Carlton Lorenz (So.) and Tyler Steen (Fr.).

Birchmeier and Tidd earned starting assignments in 2017.

Two additional redshirt freshmen, Jonah Buchanan and Stone Edwards, will contend for roles.

OUTLOOK: SECONDARY

DEFENSIVE BACKFIELD STARTERS BACK: 2 LETTERWINNERS: 9 The Commodore secondary, led by two all-Southeastern Conference candidates, will blend experienced performers with an eager group of youngsters ready to place their stamp on the Vanderbilt defense.

The secondary, mentored by four-year assistant Marc Mattioli and first-year coach Terrence Brown, has two starters and nine returning letterwinners back to compete for starting roles.

In preseason camp, Mattioli and Brown will look to identify replacements for four key contributors from a year ago, co-captain and safety Ryan White, safety Arnold Tarpley, cornerback Tre Herndon and nickel back Taurean Ferguson.

A Nashville product, Joejuan Williams (Jr.) leads Vanderbilt's cornerback corps. A 12-game starter last year, Williams is regarded among the SEC's top cover corners in 2018.

Blessed with superb length and athletic abilities, Williams registered 10 defensed passes as a sophomore, Alim Muhammad........ Grad..... TR ranking second on the team and fifth Donovan Sheffield.........Sr.........3L among all SEC defenders.

A two-year starter, Wiley brings excellent size and abilities to the free safety role. In 2017, Wiley paced the Commodores and ranked sixth in the SEC with 58 solo tackles. His 88 total tackles also led the Vanderbilt defense.

A young Commodore is likely to depart August camp as the starter alongside Wiley at strong safety. Among the prospects who impressed coaches last spring were Zaire Jones (R-So.), Tae Daley (So.), Frank Coppet (R-So.), Austin Quillen (R-So.) and Gil Barksdale (Jr.).

Three talented freshmen also will get looks at safety this summer: Brendon Harris, Dashaun Jerkins and Max Worship.

HEAD COACH MASON

Mason and his Vanderbilt squad celebrate an exciting early-season victory over nationally ranked Kansas State.

Entering his fifth season in charge of the Vanderbilt football program, head coach Derek Mason has the Commodores trending upward, on and off the field.

Vanderbilt capped Mason’s fourth season in 2017 with a win over Tennessee in Knoxville, the program’s fourth victory over the rival Volunteers in the past six seasons. The Commodores finished 4-0 in nonconference games last season, including a thrilling 14-7 win over No. 18 Kansas State on national television on Sept. 16.

In February, Mason inked Vanderbilt’s highest-rated recruiting class in his tenure, a group that ranked among the top-40 signing classes in the country by most outlets. Mason likewise recruited four new coaches to the staff in Jan. 2018, including defensive coordinator Jason Tarver and special teams coordinator Shawn Mennenga.

Mason saw his third linebacker in the past three seasons selected in the NFL Draft when the Green Bay Packers picked captain Oren Burks with the 88th overall pick. Burks became the third Vanderbilt player in the past five years to be selected in the first three rounds of the draft, joining linebacker Zach Cunningham (Houston, 2nd round, 2017) and wide receiver Jordan Matthews (Philadelphia, 2nd round, 2014). Meanwhile, seven other Vanderbilt seniors signed rookie free agent contracts with NFL teams in 2018.

Vanderbilt football student-athletes continued to perform well off the field under Mason. A total of 45 Commodores landed on the All-SEC Academic Honor roll in the fall semester, with placekicker Tommy Openshaw

MASON: FACTS & NOTES DEFEATING REGIONAL RIVALS

In the last two years, Mason's Commodores sport a 6-0 record against regional opponents Tennessee, Middle Tennessee and Western Kentucky.

OFF THE FIELD ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Mason's Commodores are national academic leaders.

Annually, they contend for the Academic Achievement Trophy, having won the national graduation success honor in 2015. Mason has created an innovative summer internship program that aids players entering the workforce after graduation, has endorsed foreign study opportunities for VU players, and has expanded community service opportunities.

ATTRACTING TOP STAFFERS

Mason continues to enhance his coaching staff. This year, he has added Jason Tarver as defensive coordinator, Shawn Mennenga as special teams coordinator, Aaron Moorehead as wide receivers coach and Terrence Brown as cornerbacks coach.

@VAN DYFO OTBALL

DEREK MASON earning a spot on the Allstate-AFCA national Good Works Team, the second Commodore in as many years to garner that honor. Vanderbilt football continued to rank among the national leaders in graduation rates, as every Commodore who has completed his eligibility under Mason has earned an undergraduate degree.

Vanderbilt football student-athletes teamed with Nashville-area businesses as part of the athletic department’s comprehensive summer internship program. Meanwhile, several Commodore players participated in study abroad programs in the summer, with six players venturing to Australia in May, including likely starters LaDarius Wiley and Josh Smith.

In 2016, Mason guided Vanderbilt to its eighth postseason appearance at the Camping World Independence Bowl. The Commodores finished the regular season 6-6, including four wins in their final six games. The season featured marquee SEC victories over Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee. The Commodores closed the regular season by scoring a combined 83 points in wins over the Rebels and Volunteers. Their 45 points against Tennessee marked the program’s most in SEC play since 1971.

Under Mason, Commodore student-athletes are performing well on and off the football field.

In 2017, running back Ralph Webb concluded his career as the leading rusher in school history and the seventh-leading rusher in SEC history.

Currently with the New England Patriots, Webb set a bushel of school single and career records, including 4,173 rushing yards, 931 rush attempts and 32 rushing touchdowns.

In 2016, inside linebacker Zach Cunningham became Vanderbilt's first consensus All-American in more than three decades. The redshirt junior swept first-team honors from every prominent outlet in the nation.

Cunningham's final accolade came when the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) selected him to its First Team All-America Defense.

Cunningham now starts at linebacker with Houston after the Texans selected him No. 57 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Mason has made impressive coaching hires since his first year on campus. This winter, he attracted Tarver and Mennenga away from the NFL ranks to become defensive coordinator and special teams coordinator, respectively. He also brought former Texas A&M offensive coach Aaron Moorehead to Nashville as wide receivers coach and enlisted a former pupil at Stanford, Terrence Brown, as the team's cornerbacks

coach. In 2015, Mason hired Andy Ludwig and head strength coach James Dobson from Big Ten programs to oversee the Commodore offensive attack and conditioning program, respectively. In the last two years, Mason has also added three bright young minds in offensive line coach Cameron Norcross, defensive line coach C.J. Ah You and inside linebackers coach Chris Marve.

Those changes helped Mason guide back-toback improvement in the Commodores in 2015-16, with keen observers of college football seeing more progress ahead.

Since arriving on campus, Mason has focused on developing men of character and integrity with the football team. Five former Commodore football players have been accepted into the Vanderbilt Medical School in the last two years.

In the last three calendar years, the team has nearly 165 SEC Academic Honor Roll recipients and more than 75 Dean's List honorees.

Mason’s Commodores continue to serve as the SEC leader in the classroom. Vanderbilt football finished third nationally with a 993 APR (Academic Progress Rate) score in 2017, the fourth straight year it has topped the SEC in the calculation. The Commodores continue to rank as a national contender for the AFCA-Memphis Touchdown Club Academic Achievement Award which they last shared in 2015.

DEREK MASON instrumental in creating a summer internship program for Commodore student-athletes that is one of the most unique in the nation.

Started in 2014 within the football team, the internship program has been expanded to other Vanderbilt squads, providing excellent work experience opportunities for student-athletes.

Mason became Vanderbilt's 28th head coach in January 2014, coming to Nashville after serving as associate head coach and Willie Shaw Director of Defense for the 2013 Pacific-12 champion Stanford Cardinal.

Mason became defensive coordinator at Stanford in 2011, after helping the Cardinal to a pair of Rose Bowl appearances and consecutive Pac-12 titles in 2012-13. Mason's defensive units at Stanford were considered among the nation's elite. Under Mason, the Cardinal ranked among the NCAA Top 15 in defensive efficiency for three consecutive years.

In 2013 while facing seven ranked opponents and one of the nation's toughest schedules, the Stanford defense ranked third in the NCAA in rushing defense (89.4 yards), 10th in scoring defense (19.0 points) and 16th in total offense (343.1 yards).

@VAN DYFO OTBALL

DEREK MASON including All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman, All-America defensive end Trent Murphy, All-America linebacker Shayne Skov and All-Pacific 12 safety Ed Reynolds.

Prior to his arrival in Palo Alto, Mason served as an assistant defensive back coach for the Minnesota Vikings from 2007 to 2009. He played a vital role in the team ranking sixth in total defense in 2008 and 2009 as the Vikings won NFC North titles each season. Mason was introduced to the NFL coaching circles through the Minority Fellowship program. He joined the Vikings staff in 2007, where he worked with defensive backs coach Joe Woods.

Before joining the Vikings, Mason tutored wide receivers at Ohio University under Frank Solich, helping the Bobcats improve from 4-7 in 2005 to a 9-5 campaign and GMAC Bowl appearance the following year.

Mason spent the 2004 season as wide receivers coach at New Mexico State, where the Aggies led the conference in passing.

During the 2002 campaign, Mason mentored receivers and assisted with special teams at Utah. The Utes featured the NFL Draft's No. 1 overall pick in quarterback Alex Smith and wide receiver Paris Warren, an eventual 7th round pick.

Mason's move to Utah came after a three-year stint at Bucknell (1999-2001) in which he gained his first experience as a defensive assistant coach. At Bucknell, Mason served as defensive backs mentor for three straight winning Bison squads.

Mason's first three collegiate positions came as an offensive assistant at Mesa (Ariz.) Community College in 1994, Weber State in 1995-96 and Idaho State in 1997-98.

As a player, Mason was a two-year starter and four-year letterwinner at Northern Arizona University. During his NAU career, Mason was influenced by several outstanding coaches, including Kentera, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, former Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress, and former NFL head coach-offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg.

Mason earned a bachelor's degree in criminal justice from Northern

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MASON...

"Derek Mason has stuck to his plan since taking the Vanderbilt job in 2014, but he also hasn't been hesitant to tweak, adjust and evolve. One of the sharper defensive minds in college football, Mason will turn the defensive play-calling duties over to Jason Tarver, allowing Mason to take a more holistic approach to the program in his fifth season. And with Kyle Shurmur returning at quarterback, Mason has the Commodores on track for their second bowl appearance in the last three seasons."

Chris Low, ESPN.com "Derek Mason is building the Vanderbilt football program the right way. I expect the Commodores to keep growing and improving under Coach Mason for years to come."

Kirk Herbstreit, ESPN CollegeGameDay Host,

Play-by-Play Announcer

"Coach Mason is the guy for the job. I fully endorse him. I know he's going to have an impact there for a long time."

Jordan Matthews, Vanderbilt WR (2010-13); current member of New England Patriots

"Coach (Mason) was essential to my development and my understanding of the game. He taught me how to play the game, how to study the game, how to really go in-depth with your film study and also understanding your weaknesses...

He's really helped me, and he still helps me to this day."

Richard Sherman, All-Pro CB, current member of San Francisco 49ers

"Derek is a great teacher and motivator, but more importantly he is a man of high character."

David Shaw, Head Coach, Stanford University

"Derek is a tremendous person, outstanding teacher, strong communicator, hard worker and consummate winner."

Jim Harbaugh, Head Coach, Univ. of Michigan

"He's very conscientious, very down to earth. Derek really studies the game in an old-time, throwback fashion and he's always looking for a better way to do things. Old school means we weren't blackboard coaches. We were teaching. He is a great teacher."

Willie Shaw, Former Defensive Coordinator in NFL and Stanford

"Derek Mason isn't satisfied with just being good enough at Vanderbilt. He won't back down in Nashville. He embraces the challenges and tackles them as hard and as vigorously as anyone ever has with the program."

Edward Aschoff, ESPN.com

Its rushing attack ranked sixth in the NFL. In 2013, Ingalls was named New Orleans' offensive line coach, continuing in that role through 2015. His final Saints' offensive front was regarded among the best in the NFL. Prior to joining the Saints, Ingalls served as offensive line coach at Northwestern University from 2006-08.

2017 GAME RECAPS VANDERBILT OPENS WITH 28-6 WIN AT MIDDLE TENNESEE MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Kyle Shurmur threw for 296 yards and tied his career-high with three touchdowns as the Vanderbilt Commodores beat Middle Tennessee 28-6 Saturday night in the season opener for both teams.

The Commodores snapped a five-year skid in season openers to give coach Derek Mason his first victory to kick off his fourth season in charge.

They also won their third straight against the Conference USA school 37 miles away from Nashville.

“It was really important because for us it’s something we hadn’t done here in my tenure, so we got it ame tonight,” Mason said. “So now we move on.”

Sept. 2, 2017 done Vanderbilt came out throwing with Shurmur, and Murfreesboro the junior quarterback didn’t disappoint. He completed 13 of his first 14 passes, including a 37-yard TD pass to Kalija Lipscomb to cap the opening drive. He added a 4-yard TD pass to Lipscomb for a 21-0 lead minutes into the second quarter.

Ralph Webb, the Commodores’ all-time leading rusher, also added a 1-yard TD run. Shurmur hit Webb on a swing pass that the senior took 73 yards for a 28-0 lead in the third.

The Commodores smothered what was a high-powered offense in 2016 with Middle Tennessee running up 495 yards against Vanderbilt last season.

The Blue Raiders averaged 517.7 yards and ranked 12th nationally scoring 39.7 points per game.

2017 GAME RECAPS LATE DEFENSIVE STAND SEALS VICTORY OVER RANKED KANSAS STATE

VANDERBILT OVERPOWERED BY TOP-RANKED ALABAMA

NASHVILLE – Kyle Shurmur scored on a 2-yard run with 8:23 left, and Vanderbilt upset No. 18 Kansas State 14-7 on Saturday night for the Commodores’ first victory over a ranked, nonconference opponent since 1946.

Vanderbilt improved to 3-0 for the first time since 2011 with the Commodores’ first win over a ranked, nonconference opponent since beating North Carolina State. The Commodores also have won five straight at home dating to last season.

Kansas State (2-1) last beat a Southeastern Conference team on the road in the regular season ame at Kentucky.

Sept. 16, 2017 in 1982 Jesse Ertz tried to drive the Wildcats to the tying Nashville score. But he was tackled short on fourth-and-8 deep in Vanderbilt territory by Oren Burks and LaDarius Wiley with 1:06 left.

Shurmur drove the Commodores 84 yards using up half of the first quarter to put Vanderbilt up 7-0 with a 2-yard pass to C.J. Duncan.

Ertz answered for Kansas State with a 75-yard drive, and on fourth-and-1, Ertz took the ball wide left and ran 15 untouched for a TD. Ryan White picked off Ertz’s pass soon after at the Wildcats 33, and Vanderbilt needed only four plays before Shurmur scored the clinching TD after having to pick up the ball off the ground after the snap.

NASHVILLE -- Alabama coach Nick Saban challenged the top-ranked Crimson Tide to prove they knew how to not only win, but dominate an opponent for a full 60 minutes.

Damien Harris ran for a career-high 151 yards and three touchdowns, Bo Scarbrough added two TDs and top-ranked Alabama routed Vanderbilt 59-0 Saturday in the Southeastern Conference opener for both teams.

Alabama (4-0) now has won 19 straight over the SEC East. Better yet, the Crimson Tide hasn’t lost to Vanderbilt since 1984 or in Nashville since 1969. Both streaks were assured ame at the end of the first quarter with Alabama up 21-0 Sept. 23, 2017 after the second of Harris’ TDs. And the Crimson Tide didn’t let up.

NASHVILLE Alabama outgained Vanderbilt in total offense 677-78 before running out the clock late for the largest margin in the program’s vaunted history. The Crimson Tide also set a school record with 38 first downs, topping the 36 earned Nov. 22, 2014, against Western Carolina.

Vanderbilt (3-1) came in as one of the five remaining undefeated teams in the SEC with the nation’s stingiest defense in points, total yards and against the pass. The Commodores had allowed just 13 points combined through three games, yet they proved no match against Alabama’s dominating ground game.

2017 GAME RECAPS SHURMUR'S THREE TOUCHDOWN PASSES NOT ENOUGH IN ROAD LOSS GAINESVILLE -- Lamical Perine scored three touchdowns, Malik Davis added two and No. 21 Florida beat Vanderbilt 38-24 on Saturday despite losing quarterback Luke Del Rio to a left shoulder injury.

Perine bookended two one-yard plunges around a 13-yard scamper as the Gators remained unbeaten in Southeastern Conference play and defeated the Commodores for the 26th time in the last 27 meetings.

Perine, a cousin of former Oklahoma and current Washington Redskins running back Samaje Perine, finished with 58 yards ame on 15 carries.

Davis, a freshman, ran 17 times for 124 yards. His Sept. 30, 2017 final run was huge. On a fourth-down play, Davis Gainesville broke through the line, stumbled and then regained his footing for a 39-yard score that sealed the victory.

Redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks replaced Del Rio in the second quarter and turned in his most effective performance of the season. Franks completed 10 of 14 passes for 185 yards, including a 49-yarder to Tyrie Cleveland that was nearly as perfect as his last pass in The Swamp.

The Gators (3-1, 3-0 SEC) and Vanderbilt played a tight game for the third consecutive year. That was an improvement for the Commodores (3-2, 0-2) after a 59-0 home loss to top-ranked Alabama a week ago.

HIGH-POWERED GEORGIA ATTACK TOO MUCH FOR COMMODORES NASHVILLE -- Nick Chubb ran for two touchdowns and 138 yards, and fifthranked Georgia routed Vanderbilt 45-14 Saturday despite missing three players from the Bulldogs’ stingy defense.

Georgia (6-0, 3-0 Southeastern Conference) continued its best start since 2012 when the Bulldogs reached the SEC championship. The Bulldogs also avenged a 17-16 loss to Vanderbilt last year by beating the Commodores for the 20th time in the past 23 games in this series.

Georgia ran through and over Vanderbilt, piling ame up 423 yards. Sony Michel added 150 yards and a Oct. 7, 2017 TD, while Elijah Holyfield scored his first career TD on a 15-yard run. Georgia set the tone on its opening Nashville drive, running all seven plays for 83 yards.

Vanderbilt (3-3, 0-3) lost its third straight to wrap up the toughest four-game stretch in school history against the Commodores’ fourth consecutive ranked opponent.

Coach Derek Mason, who oversees the defense, said the Commodores have to fix what ails them: defenders were in the right spots but didn’t tackle well.

2017 GAME RECAPS LATE RALLY COMES UP JUST SHORT AGAINST GAMECOCKS

COMMODORE OFFENSE AWAKENS, BUT VANDERBILT LOSES IN OXFORD OXFORD, Miss. -- Shea Patterson threw for 351 yards and four touchdowns and Mississippi beat Vanderbilt 57-35 on Saturday.

Ole Miss (3-3, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) snapped its three-game losing streak while Vanderbilt (3-4, 0-4) has now lost four straight.

Vanderbilt led 14-7 in the second quarter after Ralph Webb ran for two touchdowns, but Ole Miss responded with 28 straight points in less than seven minutes. The offensive avalanche was helped by two Vanderbilt turnovers that gave the Rebels excellent field position.

Ole Miss kept the momentum early in the third ame quarter, earning a safety after forcing Vanderbilt Oct. 14, 2017 quarterback Kyle Shurmur to fumble into the end Oxford, Miss. zone. Less than a minute later, Patterson hit Brown for a 29-yard touchdown pass and a 44-21 lead and the game was no longer in doubt.

Brown caught eight passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns. DaMarkus Lodge also caught two touchdown passes.

Shurmur threw for 174 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for the Commodores. Webb ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Jake Bentley ran for two touchdowns and threw for another to lead South Carolina to a 34-27 win over Vanderbilt on Saturday that assured the Southeastern Conference’s East Division race would go on at least one more week.

Bentley was 19-of-29 for 174 yards and ran six times for 47 yards, including his first scores rushing in his college career for the Gamecocks (6-2, 4-2).

Vanderbilt (3-5, 0-5) had two players ejected for targeting, including linebacker Charles Wright -- the team’s sack leader -on a hit on Bentley just after he released the ball. ame “I saw a young man tackle a quarterback,” Oct. 28, 2017 Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. “We’ve got to Columbia, S.C. get that right.”

Bentley, who took advantage of open field in front of him for several big runs, said he is used to taking shots. “Anytime a quarterback runs it’s like a little minnow with a pool of sharks,” the sophomore said.

The Commodores finished with 10 penalties for 100 yards. The final one might have been the most costly. A holding penalty by tight end Sam Dobbs stalled a potential game-tying drive and Kyle Shurmur overthrew Caleb Scott on fourth-and-2 with just over a minute to go.

Shurmur threw for a season-best 333 yards and four touchdowns.

2017 GAME RECAPS DORES HAND VOLUNTEERS WORST SERIES LOSS IN KNOXVILLE SINCE 1920

COMMODORES FALL TO MISSOURI IN HOME FINALE NASHVILLE -- Missouri didn’t look like a bowl team back in mid-October, but none of it matters now.

Drew Lock threw three touchdown passes and Missouri won its fifth straight game to become bowl eligible with its sixth victory, a 45-17 rout of Vanderbilt on Saturday night.

The Tigers (6-5, 3-4 SEC) are the second team from the Southeastern Conference to become bowl eligible after a 1-5 start.

Mississippi was the first, finishing 6-6 after an Independence Bowl loss in 1983. ame Missouri is the 13th FBS team and sixth from the Nov. 18, 2017 Power 5 conference to earn bowl eligibility after losing five of its first six games.

Nashville Vanderbilt’s Ralph Webb rushed for 55 yards and one TD, making him the ninth player in SEC history to pass the 4,000-career yard milestone.

The Commodores (4-7, 0-7) finally showed some life in the second half, outscoring the Tigers 17-3 in the third quarter.

“Missouri was opportunistic,” Commodores coach Derek Mason said. “It came down to that six- or seven-minute stretch in the second quarter. They scored 28 points in the second quarter and they did it in all three phases.”

Vanderbilt’s Kyle Shurmur threw three interceptions, giving him seven in the last two games, including four in last week’s loss to Kentucky.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt’s Ralph Webb ended his career as the sixth-leading rusher in Southeastern Conference history.

He may prefer to be known as the guy who helped change the direction of the Vanderbilt-Tennessee rivalry.

Webb ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns in his final college game Saturday as Vanderbilt whipped Tennessee 42-24 to beat the Volunteers for the fourth time in the last six years. Vanderbilt had gone 1-28 against Tennessee from 1983-2011.

“It means everything for our seniors,” Webb ame said. “We’d worked so hard. The season didn’t go Nov. 25, 2017 as planned, but we knew we had one more to get and we wanted to get this one, especially here in Nashville Knoxville. It’s so special.”

Kyle Shurmur added four touchdown passes as Vanderbilt (5-7, 1-7 SEC) continued its most successful run in this series since winning six straight over Tennessee from 1920-26.

“Keep them quiet,” Vanderbilt linebacker Oren Burks said of Tennessee.

“We own the state for another 364 days.”

After opening the year in the Top 25, Tennessee (4-8, 0-8) posted its first eight-loss season in school history and fired coach Butch Jones along the way. The Vols also went winless in SEC competition for the first time since the league’s formation in 1933.

ALL-AMERICANS ZACH CUNNINGHAM

JORDAN MATTHEWS

CASEY HAYWARD

Cunningham became one of the most decorated players in Vanderbilt history in 2016, earning unanimous firstteam All-America honors after a remarkable season.

Among the outlets that named Cunningham as a first-team All-America linebacker were the Walter Camp Football Foundation, FWAA, Associated Press, AFCA, USA Today, ESPN and SI.com.

The honors came after Cunningham topped the SEC with 125 total tackles, and ranked among league and NCAA leaders in solo tackles, tackles for loss and fumble recoveries.

As a junior in 2015, Cunningham was named as a third-team All-America linebacker by Phil Steele Publications.

After the 2016 season, Cunningham was drafted in the second round 57th overall by the Houston Texans.

Jordan Matthews put together arguably the greatest receiving season ever by a SEC player.

In 2013, Matthews earned first-team All-America honors from USA Today and Athlon. He was also recognized on All-America teams

by Associated Press, SI.com and CBS Sports.

In 2013, Matthews set new SEC records with 112 receptions, 262 career catches, and 3,759 receiving yards. Matthews' 1,477 receiving yards in 2013 also broke a team record, as did his career touchdown reception total of 24.

As a junior in 2012, Matthews had 94 catches for 1,323 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches. He earned third-team All-America from CBS Sports and Phil Steele that season.

Upon graduating, Matthews was selected in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by Philadelphia where he starts at wide receiver.

Defensive back Casey Hayward capped a remarkable career in 2011 by earning second-team All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

He was also recognized on All-America teams

by Rivals.com and Yahoo! Sports.

Hayward, of Perry, Ga., finished his career with 15 interceptions, and shares the team mark with former All-America Leonard Coleman.

As a senior, Hayward contributed seven picks and matched his team record with 17 passes defended, helping the Commodores to an appearance in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

A three-year starter, Hayward also holds the Vanderbilt career mark with 46 passes defended.

He was selected by Green Bay in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft. In 2016, he was a Pro Bowl cornerback for the San Diego Chargers.

LINEBACKER, 2015-16

D.J. MOORE

DEFENSIVE BACK, 2008 In 2008, Moore became the first cornerback to earn All-America honors in 25 years.

He was named second-team All-America by Associated Press, Sporting News, SI.com and Rivals. com after a sensational junior season.

Moore posted six interceptions and 58 tackles, contributing to the Dores' 7-6 campaign that ended with a win over Boston College at the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl.

He ended his career tied for second among Commodores with 13 career interceptions.

Moore was the SEC's most versatile player in 2008, also seeing action as a running back, wide receiver and return specialist. In a late-season win at Kentucky, he achieved a truly rare feat with a two-interception, two-touchdown catch effort.

Moore was selected in the fourth round by the Chicago Bears. He enjoyed a four-year NFL career, playing with Chicago, Carolina and Tampa Bay.

WIDE RECEIVER, 2012-13

DEFENSIVE BACK, 2011

EARL BENNETT

JAMIE WINBORN

WIDE RECEIVER, 2006

Bennett concluded his career as the SEC's all-time leading receiver.

As a sophomore in 2006, the Birmingham product was named third-team All-America by Rivals.com in 2006 after catching 82 passes.

After three years, Bennett left Vandy with 236 career catches, nearly 30 more than any other SEC receiver up to that time.

Today, he ranks second all-time in the SEC and at Vanderbilt in career receptions.

In 2007, Bennett caught 75 passes, becoming the only receiver in SEC history to post three straight seasons with at least 75 catches.

Bennett was a three-time All-SEC recipient.

Many fans remember Bennett and Jay Cutler connecting on numerous memorable plays in the 2005 season, including the game-winning touchdown to defeat Tennessee in Knoxville.

Bennett was selected by Chicago in the third round of the 2008 draft. He played five years with the Bears.

LINEBACKER, 1999

Winborn was named All-America

by Football News following the 1999 season after leading the Dores and the SEC with 141 tackles. It was the second straight year that Winborn led the league in tackles.

A two-time Coaches' All-SEC selection, Winborn was the complete linebacker package in 1999. He was a run-stopper who delivered punishing blows, making plays sideline-to-sideline.

He led the squad with a team-record 23 tackles for loss. Winborn's season included a 20-tackle, two-sack performance versus South Carolina.

Winborn finished his Commodore career with 377 total tackles, 45 tackles for loss, 16.5 quarterback sacks and six forced fumbles. Winborn topped the squad in solo tackles for three consecutive years.

@VAN DYFO OTBALL

ALL-AMERICANS BILL MARINANGEL

BOO MITCHELL

Marinangel was named first-team All-America by the Sporting News in 1996 after topping the NCAA in punting.

Marinangel is perhaps best remembered for one heroic play in his senior year. In the second game against Alabama, Marinangel surprised the Tide special teams and 72,000 onlookers, as he took the snap from center, and then scampered 81 yards for an unbelievable and unlikely touchdown. The run was the longest in the SEC that season.

Marinangel’s 46.6-yard average is the second highest single-season in team history.

His 79-yard punt versus South Carolina is also tied for the Commodores’ second longest ever.

In 1988, Mitchell was a third-team All-America after compiling one of the finest seasons ever by a Commodore receiver.

Teaming with quarterback Eric Jones, Mitchell hauled in 78 catches for 1,213 yards and five touchdowns. The receiving yardage total remains a Vanderbilt team record and the SEC’s seventh highest total ever. He surpassed 100 yards receiving in six games that season.

Mitchell burst onto the SEC scene as a freshman, hauling in a team-record 45 receptions. He added 31 and 34 receptions as a sophomore and junior, respectively.

Mitchell ranks among team leaders in virtually every career receiving category. He ranks second among Commodores - and fifth all-time in the SEC, with 2,964 receiving yards.

CHRIS GAINES

RICKY ANDERSON

LEONARD COLEMAN

A Nashville native, Gaines was selected first-team All-America by the nation’s football coaches. In 1987, he established an SEC single-season record for total tackles with 214.

Tennessean columnist Larry Woody once described Gaines as “sort of a Rambo on a leash." An avid weightlifter, Gaines was one of the strongest Commodores of his era.

Gaines also posted one of the greatest efforts ever by a 'Dore as a senior by recording a schoolrecord 37 tackles versus Tulane.

After the season, he was named MVP of the Blue-Gray Game after racking up 18 tackles and was named Tennessee Amateur Athlete of the Year by the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

Gaines played two years in the NFL, then returned to Vanderbilt as an assistant football coach from 1995-97.

Anderson arrived on campus as a walk-on.

Four years later, he departed as the nation's top punter-kicker in the nation and a consensus All-American.

Anderson’s senior season was remarkable. As a punter, he topped the nation with a 48.2-yard average. It remains as the highest yearly punting average ever in the SEC by more than a yard. Anderson's 1984 campaign also is tied for seventh all-time in NCAA history.

Following the 1984 season, he was named a consensus first-team All-American.

Anderson holds several team kicking marks.

Besides the single-season average record, his 82-yard punt against Georgia in 1984 remains the longest in team history.

Anderson's career average of 45.6 yards also ranks first, as does his single-season scoring total of 73 points in 1982. He also ranks third on the team’s all-time scoring list with 192 points.

JAMIE DUNCAN LINEBACKER, 1997

Duncan was a dominating linebacker and a player who always rose to the occasion.

In 1997, Duncan was named firstteam All-America by the Football Writers Association of America. He was also named secondteam All-America by the Associated

Press and Football News.

In 1997, he became the only Commodore player to earn Associated Press SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors. He also received similar recognition from the Mobile Press Register.

As a junior, Duncan amassed 152 tackles, six sacks, 14 tackles for loss and five forced fumbles.

He finished his career with 425 tackles. His effort against No. 1 Florida remains one of the best ever by a Commodore.

Duncan's NFL career included stops at Tampa Bay, St. Louis and Atlanta.

Duncan was named to the Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame in 2013.

LINEBACKER, 1987

PUNTER, 1996

PUNTER, 1984

WIDE RECEIVER, 1988

DEFENSIVE BACK, 1983

Coleman was named first-team All-America in 1983 by the Gannett News Service and was a third-team All-America selection by the Associated Press.

A consensus All-SEC selection, Coleman left Vanderbilt rated as the nation’s No. 1

cornerback by NFL scouts.

Coleman was a four-year starter. As a freshman, he contributed four interceptions, including a team-record tying three picks in a victory over Chattanooga.

Coleman’s efforts as a junior was a key for Vanderbilt’s Hall of Fame Bowl season in 1982, including a pair of interceptions in the seasonopening win over Memphis. He finished the year by setting a team mark with eight INTs. He remains tied for team record with 15 career interceptions.

ALL-AMERICANS CHUCK SCOTT

JIM ARNOLD

ALLAMA MATTHEWS

Early in his career, Scott struggled to make an impact at flanker. He just needed to switch positions.

In 1983, Scott blossomed after moving to tight end. Scott hauled in 70 receptions and nine touchdowns to tie the existing NCAA record for catches by a tight end. He was named first-team All-America by The Sporting News.

Scott followed up that season by posting 54 receptions and eight TD catches in 1984.

Scott also contributed 21 receptions in the Commodores' 1982 Hall of Fame Bowl season.

A two-time Academic All-SEC selection, Scott ranks among the team leaders in several career receiving records. His 20 career touchdown receptions remains the second most in school history. Scott also ranks sixth all-time with 145 catches and fifth with 2,219 receiving yards,

Arnold became the first Vanderbilt kicking specialist to receive AllAmerica honors, paving the way for several kicking standouts to follow in his footsteps.

A native of Dalton, Ga., Arnold quickly impacted the squad, breaking the freshman mark with a 41.9-yard avg. By the time he graduated, coach George McIntyre said, "Jim’s the best kicker in the country, pro or college."

As a senior in 1982, he was named to six All-America teams after averaging a then-record 45.8-yard average.

Arnold ended his career with a 43.9-yard average. Arnold's senior average remains third all-time by a Dore and fifth all-time by a SEC punter. He owns two of the longest punts in team history, including a 79-yarder at Ole Miss.

After Vanderbilt, Arnold took his game to the NFL, enjoying an 11-year pro career.

He was inducted into the Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame in 2009.

Early in his Vanderbilt career, coaches tried Matthews at safety and receiver. Once all parties settled on tight end, Matthews put together one of the finest receiving campaigns ever, helping spark the team’s run to the Hall of Fame Bowl.

In 1982, Matthews was named first-team All-America by Football News after posting 61 receptions for 797 yards and 14 TDs, most ever by a Commodore. Later that season, Matthews was also named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Year by the Atlanta Touchdown Club.

Matthews also earned first-team All-SEC honors by the Associated Press and United Press International in 1982.

He concluded his career with 18 touchdowns.

Matthews was drafted and played three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons.

Brown also was a dynamic returner for the Commodores. He remains sixth on team's all-time leaders for kickoff returns and fifth in punt returns. Brown also returned three kickoffs for scores. His 100-yard kickoff return against Ole Miss in 1977 remains the longest in team history.

After finishing his senior season, Brown played in the Blue-Gray Classic and Senior Bowl.

He played three seasons for the New England Patriots and one year each for the New York Jets and Cleveland Browns.

PUNTER, 1982

TIGHT END, 1974

As a junior in 1974, the Nashville native helped the Dores to a 7-4 regular season record and berth in the 1974 Peach Bowl.

He was named first-team All-America by Football News.

He was also a first-team All-SEC

pick.

Burton was a genuine triple-threat. In addition to receiving, he also ran the end-around, and handled punting duties. In 1974, Burton caught 22 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns; ran 31 times for 307 yards and a score; and punted 54 times for a 40.2-yard average.

As a senior, Burton came back to catch a career-high 31 passes and two touchdowns.

Burton has two of the longest punts in team history: a 79-yarder versus Georgia in 1973 and a 78-yarder versus Kentucky in 1975.

TIGHT END, 1982

OFFENSIVE TACKLE, 1969 Virginia native Asher started every game of his three-year varsity Vanderbilt career, concluding with the Associated Press and NEA naming him to the first-team All-American squad at tackle.

Asher was known as an impenetrable pass blocker, regarded by observers as one of the top blocking tackles in school history. He also earned first-team All-SEC and All-South honors as a junior.

Asher later played in the College All-Star Game, the Senior Bowl, the North-South Shrine Game and the Canadian American Bowl.

In 1970, he was drafted by Dallas. One of his Cowboys' teammates was a former Vanderbilt teammate, defensive lineman Pat Toomay.

Together, they played key roles in the Cowboy's 1971 squad that eventually won the Super Bowl.

ALL-AMERICANS CHIP HEALY

GEORGE DIEDERICH

CHARLEY HORTON

A product of Chattanooga, Healy's AllAmerica recognition as a defensive standout set the stage for numerous Commodore linebackers to follow in his footsteps.

In 1968, Healy was named first-team All-American by the Central Press and second-team All-American by The Sporting News.

Healy played superb defense as a junior after injurying his knee the previous spring. As a senior, Healy topped the Commodores in total tackles. He registered six interceptions in his career.

Healy played in the East-West Shrine Bowl and Senior Bowl, and was selected by the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1968 draft. He played two seasons in the NFL.

Known to his teammates as “LuLu”, Deiderich was a two-way line standout for the Commodores, culminating a Vanderbilt career by earning first-team All-America honors by Associated Press, the nation’s coaches, Look Magazine, and the FWAA. He was also named first-team All-SEC in 1957 and 1958. Deiderich played both offensive and defensive guard.

Deiderich was also an outstanding track athlete, setting a school record in the high hurdles.

After his senior season, Deiderich represented the Commodores at the Senior Bowl. Drafted by the Rams, Deiderich decided to take his football talents north of the border to Montreal in the Canadian Football League.

Horton was named thirdteam AllAmerica by INS after a superb 1955 season in which he established a then-school mark of 12 TDs. Horton’s outstanding play propelled the Dores to an 8-3 season and their first ever bowl game – a 25-13 win over Auburn in the Gator Bowl.

Horton had a knack for getting the Dores on the scoreboard, as he scored the first touchdown in seven of the 10 regular season contests in the 1955 season. Horton was an outstanding returner, and still ranks second all-time with a 14.4-yard punt return average.

Though selected 11th overall by the Rams in the 1956 draft, Horton joined the military.

Horton is a member of the 2015 Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame class.

BOB WERCKLE

BUCKY CURTIS

A New Jersey native, Werckle overcame injuries to become one of the team's finest linemen.

In 1951, he was named as a second-team All-America by INS and the AP. By 1949, he was given little chance to succeed after twice breaking a leg in practice. By 1950, the injury jinx was beaten, with Werckle playing more minutes than any teammate. Across the South, Werckle was known for his blocking and tackling abilities.

In 1951, Werckle earned first-team All-SEC recognition after serving as a captain.

Werckle was selected in the NFL Draft by Detroit.

Later, he earned with distinction as a Marine Corps officer in Korea.

One of the team's first downfield receiving threats, Curtis was selected first-team AllAmerican by the Football Writers, INS and Look Magazine in 1950.

He ranked among the nation's best receiving yardage in 1950. As a senior, Curtis led the team to a 7-4 record, and set a SEC mark with 791 receiving yards. He still ranks fifth all-time on the team with 17 TDs. After his senior season, Curtis was named MVP of the Senior Bowl, and played in the College All-Star Game. He was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft by Cleveland.

He went on to serve in the Navy. In 1975, he received the NCAA Silver Anniversary Award.

Curtis was inducted into the 2010 Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame class.

LINEBACKER, 1968

BILL WADE

QUARTERBACK, 1951 A Nashville legend, Wade was the 1951 SEC Player of the Year and a second-team All-America by the Associated Press.

A Look Magazine coverboy, Wade set virtually every Commodore passing record. As a junior in 1950, Wade threw for 16 TDs, a total not eclipsed by a Vanderbilt quarterback until Whit Taylor threw for 22 TDs in 1982.

Wade is one of the team's most celebrated players. He remains the only Vanderbilt player selected No. 1 overall in the NFL Draft – taken by Los Angeles in 1952. He had a 14-year career with the Rams and Chicago, and led the Bears to the 1963 NFL title, rushing for two TDs in the championship game over the N.Y. Giants.

Wade is is a member of the first Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame class inducted in 2008. He died in early 2016 after a long illness.

Gude played three years of tremendous football before entering the military service during World War II. Gude was named to the FoxMovietone

All-America team in 1941.

As a center, Gude was frequently compared to former Commodore greats Carl Hinkle and Pete Gracey.

After his senior season, Gude was selected by Chicago Bears in the 1942 NFL Draft.

Gude played two seasons of pro football, starting with the Bears in 1942, then returning with Philadelphia in 1946.

JOHN BROWN GUARD, 1929

A senior captain, John Neil Brown was named first-team All-America by the nation’s coaches. He also was a three-time AllConference recipient.

Known as "Bull," Brown helped anchor both sides of the line of scrimmage.

Brown was a key contributor on the line for the 1926 Commodores. He missed 1927, only to return as a standout in 1928-29. One of his best defensive games came against University of Minnesota legendary running back Bronko Nagurski.

Brown also was a standout rightfielder on the Vanderbilt baseball team.

CARL HINKLE

PETE GRACEY

CENTER, 1937

Hinkle continued the Dore tradition of quality centers. The 1937 captain was named first-team All-America by the Associated Press, Grantland Rice and

Liberty.

He was an ironman, playing every minute in seven games in 1937. Named the SEC’s Most Valuable Player, Hinkle guided the squad within inches of the Rose Bowl.

Though selected by Philadelphia in the 11th round of the 1938 NFL Draft, Hickle decided on another career path. After graduating, he entered West Point and earned the highest cadet honor.

He then served with distinction in WWII. Hinkle was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1959.

He was inducted into the 2010 Vanderbilt Athletics Hall of Fame class.

CENTER, 1932

A native of nearby Franklin, Clarence “Pete” Gracey was an anchor on both the offensive and and defensive fronts.

In 1932, he became the last of 13 All-American players mentored by coach Dan McGugin.

While the last of McGugin's prize pupils, Gracey also ushered in a decade of superb Vandy centers, including Carl Hinkle and Bob Gude.

In Gracey’s final season, he opened holes for such backs as Dixie Roberts and Larry Burton as a center. A possible undefeated season ended in the finale when the Dores fell to Alabama.

A versatile athlete, he also lettered in baseball and basketball.

DICK ABERNATHY

BILL SPEARS

END, 1928

QUARTERBACK, 1927

Abernathy earned AllAmerica honors as an end in 1928, helping the Dores to an 8-2 record.

Abernathy had a key 38-yard touchdown catch that enabled the Commodores

to defeat visiting Colgate, 12-7.

A week later in Dallas, Abernathy blocked a punt that was recovered in the end zone which would stand up to be the winning score in the Commodores’ 13-12 win over Texas.

One of Vandy's top offensive players ever, Spears was an acclaimed quarterback for some of McGugin's best Vanderbilt teams. In 1927, he was selected first-team All-America

by NEA and

Associated Press.

In 1927, he guided the squad to an 8-1-2 record, including a win over Tulane when noted writer Blinkey Horn described Spears as “All-World” after a two-touchdown effort.

Spears concluded his career by outgaining the entire Alabama squad in a 14-7 Vanderbilt win.

Spears went on to chair his own law firm. He was a significant contributor to Vanderbilt, serving on the Board of Trust from 1954 until his death in 1992.

TACKLE, 1915-16, 1919

"RABBIT" CURRY

Known as “Hek,” Wakefield was a two-way standout for McGugin's Commodores.

In 1924, he was named first-team All-America by INS, Lawrence Perry, Outing and Billy Evans publications.

In 1922, Wakefield helped the Dores to a 8-0-1 campaign. He was a starter in the inaugural 0-0 game in Dudley Field against Michigan.

Wakefield starred on teams that went 26-5-4.

As injuries mounted in 1924, Wakefield was named captain. He quickly proved worthy of the honor, scoring twice in a win over Auburn, then defeating Georgia Tech with a 37-yard drop-kick field goal.

A superb blocker and outstanding runner, Bomar was the first great end of the Dan McGugin Era. Bomar was named All-America by Walter Camp.

Known to fans as the “Blonde Bear,” Bomar helped Vanderbilt to “the Championship of the South.”

His athletic career ended in 1924 when he suffered a brain hemorrhage following a blow to the chin. Though temporarily in danger, he fully recovered and enjoyed a distinguished law enforcement career.

He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 1956.

Cody is arguably the most decorated player in Vanderbilt team history.

Known as a punishing blocker, Cody is the only Commodore ever to earn All-America honors in three different seasons. The Football Writers Association honored Cody after the 1915, 1916 and 1919 seasons.

Cody was the main ingredient of a powerful offensive line that propelled Vanderbilt to 23 wins in 25 games.

He sparked the McGugin's famous "Point-A-Minute" offense of 1915.

Cody became a successful head coach, serving in that role at Clemson and Temple. Cody was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 1970.

A legend in team history, Curry was superb on and off the field. Small in stature, Curry's display of talent, heart and leadership was cherished by fans.

Selected as a third-team AllAmerica in 1916, Curry was a field general at QB who displayed a knack for brilliant runs. The Texan guided the team to a 7-1-1 record in 1916 and directed the famous “Point-AMinute” squad of 1915. He was also elected junior class president and as the school's prestigious Bachelor of Ugliness by the student body.

Curry’s life was cut short. Just two years after graduating, Curry died when his plane was shot down over France in WWI.

LEWIS HARDAGE

RAY MORRISON

W.E. METZER

OWSLEY MANIER

After transferring from Auburn to enter Dental School, Hardage was part of what observers called the Commodores’ fastest backfield.

Hardage starred on tremendous squads. As captain in 1911-12, he helped Vanderbilt go 16-2-1 overall, and outscore their opponents 578-27.

Hardage earned third-team All-America and All-Southern Conference recognition as a senior.

Hardage dominated several games in 1912, scoring 95 points for the squad that topped the nation in points.

He also was a chief factor in a pair of early season blowouts, 105-0 over Bethel and 100-0 against Maryville.

When Morrison ended his career in 1911, McGugin called him “the best I ever saw.”

More than two decades later, a panel of writers tabbed Morrison as VU's top QB through its first 50 years.

An All-Americab in 1911, Morrison was a talented player and leader. In his two years, the team went 16-1-1.

He later became a great coach, serving 34 seasons at the collegiate level. While McGugin served in the military during 1918, he was the team’s interim coach. When McGugin retired in 1934, Morrison was his handpicked successor.

He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954.

Metzger was Dan McGugin's first great lineman, earning third-team All-America recognition in 1910.

In 1909, Metzger was a sensation in the backfield, rushing for fourscores to singlehandedly beat Mercer 28-0, before suffering a leg fracture.

In 1910, he moved to the line, anchoring a unit that helped produce an 8-0-1 record. On defense, he assisted a unit that allowed only eight points.

Metzger shared the spotlight with QB Ray Morrison in 1911. He played brilliantly, helping the Commodores to an 8-1 record.

Joining the team in Dan McGugin’s first year on campus, Manier was a three-year starter and a big reason why Vanderbilt became an instant Southern power under McGugin.

As the team’s fullback, Manier was named All-America in 1906, becoming the first Commodore so honored.

He was an offensive machine for McGugin’s squad, scoring three times against Kentucky and on five occasions in 78-0 victory over Alabama.

Manier was a key factor in the Commodores' 24-1 overall record.

Eventually, Manier returned to academia, and became professor emeritus of clinical medicine at the Vanderbilt School of Medicine.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Still hurting from a dislocated elbow suffered in the Tennessee game, quarterback Don Orr scored two touchdowns and set up another as the Commodores defeated No. 8-ranked Auburn in the 11th Gator Bowl 25-13.

The Vanderbilt defense provided a huge lift for the Commodores, recovering five fumbles in the victory.

Vanderbilt’s first score was set up when Orr recovered an Auburn fumble. Eight plays later, Joe Stephenson ran seven yards for the VU touchdown.

Auburn answered on a 38-yard TD pass from Howell Tubbs to Rob James in the second quarter, but the rest of the game belonged to the Black and Gold.

On Vanderbilt’s following possession, Orr carried the ball 44 yards to the Tigers’ 28. He then passed to Joe Scales, who advanced to the Auburn 4-yard line. On the next play, Orr carried the ball over the line after a fake to fullback Phil King to give Vanderbilt a 13-7 lead at the half.

At the opening of the third quarter, Vanderbilt guard Sonny Tatum recovered an Auburn fumble, and the Commodores marched quickly into scoring position as Orr crossed the goal line for his second touchdown of the day to make the score 19-7. Both teams scored once more in the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt’s score came on a one-yard run off right tackle by Charley Horton.

Vanderbilt coach Art Guepe cleared his bench in the final minutes, using 38 of the 39 men dressed for the game. Capitalizing on Auburn’s five fumbles and using an ailing quarterback, the Commodores captured its first bowl appearance.

ATLANTA, Ga. – The 1974 Peach Bowl was a game with no champion but two winners, the Commodores and Texas Tech Red Raiders.

Despite the effective rushing of Red Raider tailback Larry Isaac and fullback Cliff Hoskins, the Commodore defense held Texas Tech without points in the first half and entered halftime with a 3-0 lead after Mark Adams kicked a 31-yard field goal with 10 minutes remaining.

Neither team was able to muster much offense in the third quarter, though Texas Tech did tie the score at 3-3 after a drive stalled at the Vanderbilt 16-yard line.

Early in the fourth quarter, the Commodores’ freshman lineman Dennis Harrison stopped a deep Texas Tech threat by blocking a Red Raider field goal attempt.

The Tech drive started following one of two Vanderbilt turnovers during the game.

After the blocked field goal, the Commodores responded with a possession that ended with Adams’ second field goal of the day, a 26-yarder that resulted in a 6-3 Vanderbilt margin. However, Texas Tech tied the game at the 2:00 mark on a 35-yard field goal by Brian Hall. On its final drive, Vanderbilt could not move into scoring range.

The Commodore offense struggled much of the day, with quarterback David Lee hitting just five of 14 attempts. Running back Jamie O’Rourke had 76 rushing yards.

The limited offensive production from both teams resulted in numerous defensive and scoring records being set in the game.

Within hours of the conclusion, Vanderbilt Head Coach Steve Sloan announced he was leaving his position to accept the head coaching job at Texas Tech.

12/31/1982 •Legion Field, Birmingham, Ala.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Without question, the Hall of Fame Bowl was one of college football’s most exciting 1982 postseason games.

The game matched one of the nation’s most potent aerial attacks featuring Vanderbilt All-SEC quarterback Whit Taylor and one of America’s most devastating rushing attacks in the Falcons’ vaunted option attack.

Offensively, this game lived up to the hype as 33 Hall of Fame records were broken and another eight were tied in Legion Field. Unfortunately for Vanderbilt, Air Force walked away the winner 36-28 after a remarkable comeback.

For three quarters, Whit Taylor was unstoppable. Connecting with a variety of wide receivers and running backs, Taylor’s fourth touchdown pass of the game, a four-yarder to Norman Jordan, gave the Commodores a 28-17 margin entering the fourth quarter. Down by double digits, the Air Force Academy scored rushing touchdowns on three consecutive possessions to take the victory.

Taylor was named the Most Valuable Player, after completing a team-record 38 passes of 51 attempts for 452 yards, which remains as the second highest singlegame passing yardage total in Vanderbilt history. Jordan’s performance arguably was more remarkable. Though rushing for just four yards, Jordan hauled in 20 receptions for 173 yards and three TDs, breaking five Hall of Fame Bowl records.

NASHVILLE – Vanderbilt won a bowl game for the first time in 53 years, with Bryant Hahnfeldt kicking a 45-yard field goal with 3:26 left for a 16-14 win over #24 Boston College in the Gaylord Hotels Music City Bowl held on New Year's Eve in LP Field.

The Commodores hadn't played in a bowl since 1982 – the SEC's longest drought. The victory gave Vanderbilt (7-6) its first winning season since that season. This is just the fourth time in the past 50 years that Vanderbilt has won seven games in a season.

The Eagles got the ball twice after Hahnfeldt's third field goal. They had to punt the first time, then Vanderbilt DB Myron Lewis picked off a pass with 1:36 left.

Vanderbilt scored its lone touchdown when freshman safety Sean Richardson fell on a Commodore punt that bounced off the knee of BC's Paul Anderson with 10:35 left in the third quarter.

The Commodores played musical chairs at quarterback, giving redshirt freshman Larry Smith his first career start.

Hahnfeldt, a Nashville product playing his final game as a Commodore, matched a single-game career high with the three field goals. The Commodores also forced two interceptions while allowing none.

MEMPHIS – Isaiah Pead ran for 149 yards and a touchdown, and Ralph David Abernathy IV's 90-yard kickoff return put Cincinnati ahead to stay as the Bearcats edged Vanderbilt 31-24 in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl.

But the 10-3 co-Big East champion Bearcats (10-3) had to work to put away Vanderbilt (6-7), a team that tied for fourth in the SEC's East Division.

The Commodores led 21-17 early in the fourth quarter until Abernathy became the first Cincinnati player to return a kickoff for a TD in the program's 13 bowl appearances.

The Commodores, making their fifth bowl appearance and first since 2008, finished the season with a 6-7 record.

Senior quarterback Larry Smith replaced Vanderbilt starter Jordan Rodgers in the third quarter, and he threw for a season-high 142 yards. Smith's biggest completion was a 68-yard scoring toss to Chris Boyd that gave the Commodores for a 21-17 lead early in the fourth quarter. Vanderbilt lost the lead on the ensuing kickoff.

NASHVILLE – Vanderbilt is winning like the Commodores haven't in nearly a century. After capturing the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, Head Coach James Franklin says everyone better get used to it.

Jordan Rodgers threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score as the Commodores capped their best season since 1915 by defeating NC State 38-24 in Nashville's LP Field.

"We're not going anywhere," Franklin said. The Commodores finished 9-4 for their best record since going 9-1 in 1915. It marks only the third time the smallest and only private university in the SEC has won as many as nine games in a season.

Vandy closed the season with seven straight wins for its longest streak since an eight-game run in 1948.

Senior Zac Stacy earned the bowl's MVP honors with 108 rushing yards and one touchdowns.

BOWL RECAPS 2014 BBVA COMPASS BOWL 2016 INDEPENDENCE BOWL 1/4/2014 • Birmingham, Ala., Legion Field

12/26/2016 •Shreveport, La., Independence Stadium

HOUSTON 24 VANDERBILT 41

NC STATE 41 VANDERBILT 17

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Patton Robinette threw two 50-yard touchdown passes to MVP Jordan Matthews, leading Vanderbilt to a 41-24 victory over Houston in the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Robinette, starting after senior Austyn Carta-Samuels had season-ending surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee, also had an 8-yard scoring run as Vanderbilt built a 24-0 lead in the first half.

After Houston pulled even by scoring 24 points in the third quarter, Vanderbilt reclaimed the lead on Brian Kimbrow's 21-yard touchdown run. It was the start of 17 fourth-quarter points for the Commodores.

"The thing that's probably the most exciting to me is there is a culture of winning at Vanderbilt," Coach James Franklin said. "These guys know how to win."

Vanderbilt (9-4) closed the season with five straight wins. The 'Dores played in three straight bowl games under Franklin -- a first for the program -- and completed their first back-to-back nine-win seasons.

SHREVEPORT, La. – Jaylen Samuels caught three touchdown passes from Ryan Finley, Nyheim Hines returned a kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown and NC State beat Vanderbilt 41-17 in the Camping World Independence Bowl.

NC State (7-6) won three of its final four games to finish with a winning record. The Wolfpack built a 28-3 lead by midway through the third quarter -largely thanks to Samuels’ touchdown catches of 9, 55 and 17 yards -- and then held off a brief Vanderbilt rally.

Samuels’ three touchdowns were an Independence Bowl record. Finley, who completed 19 of 30 passes for 235 yards, hit Samuels six times for 104 yards.

Vanderbilt (6-7) had a lot of momentum going into the game thanks to surprising wins over Mississippi and Tennessee to end the regular season. But the Commodores’ offense -- which scored a combined 83 points against the Rebels and Volunteers -- struggled for most of the night.

“We looked a little rusty,” Vanderbilt coach Derek Mason said. “All the way around -- special teams, offense and defense. We just didn’t look like the Vanderbilt team that came out of the regular season.”

VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY

Vanderbilt, founded in 1873 by a $1 million gift from Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, is one of the nation’s leading institutions of higher learning, a midsize, private comprehensive research university that emphasizes undergraduate learning and living experiences.

Members of the 2018-19 undergraduate student body, including the student-athlete population, are outstanding academic achievers and active participants in the campuses' many organizations and activities. They also compose the most diverse enrollment ever as Vanderbilt continues to attract students from many ethnic, cultural, socio-economic, geographic and religious backgrounds.

Since its inception, the university has taken great pride in the quality of education – and quality of life – its students enjoy. Each of the four undergraduate colleges – College of Arts and Science, School of Engineering, Blair School of Music and Peabody College – attracts students with varying goals and dreams.

At Vanderbilt, professors know their students’ names and take an interest in students’ ideas. Recognized globally for their research and scholarship prowess, faculty members believe in the importance of balancing professional pursuits with classroom instruction, and they value their relationships with students.

Some of the world’s leading scholars teach at Vanderbilt, helping students develop an academic program that meets individual objectives, and they encourage students to enhance primary areas of study by choosing among hundreds of

CAMPUS FACTS • Undergraduate enrollment - 6,885 • Graduate enrollment - 5,707 • Full-time faculty - 4,261 • University employees - 9,162 • 330-acre scenic campus located just west of downtown Nashville • Campus includes 38 resident halls • More than 139,000 living alumni elective courses, course-related internships, off-campus study and accelerated degree programs.

Through the Honor Code, studentdirected service opportunities and campus programs, undergrads also consider moral and ethical issues and put the many facets of their lives into a personal framework of values.

At Vanderbilt, the big material resources are in place: beautiful grounds and buildings, well-equipped classrooms and labs, modern options for housing, and ample athletic and recreational facilities. Off campus, undergrads have all the urban conveniences offered by one of America’s most vibrant cities, the Tennessee capital city of Nashville.

Though located within walking distance of downtown activities, the quality of Vanderbilt life is reflected in much smaller, less public ways – attending a Commodore sporting event, researching papers, running into friends while walking on campus, or grabbing a late-night snack.

BRONSON INGRAM COLLEGE ADDS TO LIVING EXPERIENCES Three years after opening the beautiful Warren and Moore residential college halls, the University's national reputation of providing students with a remarkable on-campus living experience will be enhanced when the E. Bronson Ingram College complex opens later this year.

The E. Bronson Ingram College, now under construction on the central campus, is the third major living-learning initiative

by Vanderbilt in recent years, following the Ingram Commons and the Warren and Moore College Halls. The Ingram Commons, located on Vanderbilt's Peabody campus, serves as home to all first-year students. The Warren and Moore college hall, located on the main campus across from historic Kirkland Hall, accommodates 700 upper-class students. The E. Bronson Ingram College will house 350 students, faculty advisors and graduate students.

Construction also has begun on a series of state-of-the-art residential halls on West End to replace Carmichael Towers.

Vanderbilt alumni are having a positive impact on the nation.

Vanderbilt's alumni are leaders in their chosen fields, including sports, business, engineering, science, medicine, public service, entertainment, and education.

In sports, Vanderbilt grads are more abundant than ever: Brandt Snedeker is an eight-time PGA Tour winner and Fed Ex Cup SI's Lee Jenkins ESPN'S Buster Olney champion; David Price, Sonny Gray and Dansby Swanson are Major League Baseball standouts; Festus Ezeli and Damian Jones have captured recent NBA titles; Sports Illustrated's Lee Jenkins is regarded among the nation's most knowledgable NBA writers; Buster Olney is ESPN's top analysts; and Skip Bayless co-hosts FOX Sports' Undisputed show.

At NBC Studios in New York, Willie Geist hosts the network's Sunday Today program and is a co-host of Morning Joe. Suspense enthusiasts gobble up the newest thriller by best-selling writer James Patterson.

CHANCELLOR ZEPPOS Vanderbilt Chancellor Nicholas S. Zeppos is a proud supporter of the Commodores and is deeply committed to the continued success of Vanderbilt University student athletes and its athletic program.

Zeppos has taken a keen interest in athletics at Vanderbilt throughout his tenure at the university, which spans more than three decades. “I don’t call the plays or throw the passes,” Zeppos said. “I’m here simply trying to do whatever I can to support all of the talented people who do these things.”

In the spring of 2016, Zeppos displayed that support yet again during the hiring of two of the nation’s most dynamic and sought after basketball coaches, Bryce Drew and Stephanie White, to lead the Commodores’ men’s and women’s respective basketball programs.

Prior to that, he worked hand-in-hand with Vice Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics Director David Williams II to lure Derek Mason away from Stanford University to lead the Vanderbilt football program. That effort is yielding big dividends on West End, as Mason enters his fourth straight season seeking even more victories.

Zeppos also helped lead an athletics capital improvement plan that has surpassed $60 million, orchestrating efforts to improve the student experience for athletes and assist with recruiting.

Zeppos previously served as president of the Southeastern Conference from 2014-2015, where he led the establishment of the SEC Academic Conference and played a key role in the extensive SEC commissioner search, which resulted in the appointment of Greg Sankey as league commissioner. He continues to be an important voice within the SEC where his legal expertise and commitment to fairness, student-athlete welfare, and diversity have been on display for more than a decade..

Zeppos was named Vanderbilt University’s eighth chancellor on March 1, 2008. A distinguished legal scholar, teacher and executive, he served from 2002 to 2008 as Vanderbilt’s chief academic officer, overseeing the university’s undergraduate, graduate and professional education programs as well as research efforts in liberal arts and sciences, engineering, music, education, business, law and divinity. As provost and vice chancellor, he chaired Vanderbilt’s budgeting and capital planning council and led all fundraising and alumni relations efforts across the institution, in addition to overseeing the dean of students and dean of admissions.

Zeppos has led a number of important initiatives at Vanderbilt, including the planning processes for The Martha Rivers Ingram Commons, a landmark transformation of the first-year experience; Warren and Moore colleges for upperclassmen; and E. Bronson Ingram College, the next phase of the university’s unique living-learning residential college system.

In early 2016, Zeppos was honored by Insight Into Diversity magazine for his commitment to diversity and inclusion with its national Giving Back award.

In a bold move to strengthen Vanderbilt’s commitment to admitting undergraduates on the basis of accomplishment and achievement, rather than their ability to pay, Zeppos created an expanded financial aid program in 2009. By replacing undergraduate need-based loans with grant and scholarship assistance, this transformative initiative allowed Vanderbilt to open its doors to highly talented and qualified students of all economic, cultural and geographical backgrounds.

The expanded aid program is a top university priority and is funded by a combination of strategic budget allocations and gifts from thousands of generous donors to Opportunity Vanderbilt, a campaign to increase undergraduate scholarship endowment.

Zeppos joined the Vanderbilt community in 1987 as an assistant professor in the Law School, where he has been recognized with five teaching awards.

He subsequently served as an associate dean, then as associate provost before being named provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in 2002. He served as interim chancellor of the university from August 1, 2007, until March 1, 2008, when he was appointed chancellor.

The Chancellor is a member of the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics and serves on a number of institutions’ Board of Directors: Association of American Universities, Foundation for Educational Exchange Between Canada and the United States of America (Fulbright Canada), Mary Parrish Center, Conexión Américas, and Vanderbilt University Medical Center. He also recently served as president of the Southeastern Conference and co-chair of the United States Senate-appointed Task Force on Government Regulation of Higher Education.

He is married to Lydia A. Howarth, an accomplished editor. They have two sons, Benjamin and Nicholas.

The chancellor addresses Vanderbilt student-athletes and their families in May at Alternative Graduation, a ceremony for athletes missing commencement due to competition.

A.D. DAVID WILLIAMS II Vanderbilt Director of Athletics David Williams II ranks among the university’s most prominent leaders.

Aside from his role in McGugin Center, Williams is Vice-Chancellor for University Affairs and Athletics as well as a tenured professor at the University’s nationally ranked law school. He continues to teach at the Law School where he conducts courses on Taxation and Education as well as Sports Law. He is also an active participant in the SEC and NCAA in matters of negotiations, reforms, enforcements and planning. Williams is a frequent speaker on collegiate athletics, including recent appearances at Harvard and Pennsylvania law schools and as keynote speaker at the Black Male Student Athlete Summit.

Since adding athletics to his multiple titles and responsibilities in 2002, Vanderbilt has seen its athletic department and individual programs recognized as being among the nation’s most innovative and successful. Once again, the 2017-18 academic year marked another remarkable campaign under Williams’ leadership.

Seven Vanderbilt teams reached NCAA postseason competition, including an NCAA Championship by the Commodores’ bowling team, the fourth national title in Vanderbilt athletics history. Vanderbilt women’s tennis, winners of the 2015 NCAA Championship, also took home the SEC regular season and tournament championships for the second straight season and finished the year as NCAA runner-up. Vanderbilt baseball reached the NCAA tournament for the 13th straight season – the longest active streak in the SEC – and reached an NCAA Super Regional for the seventh time in nine years. The Commodore soccer, men’s golf and women’s golf teams also advanced to NCAA postseason play. Vanderbilt women’s tennis coach Geoff Macdonald earned SEC Coach of the Year honors for the fifth time in his career, while Commodores’ men’s golf senior Theo Humphrey was named SEC Player of the Year.

In the most recent Academic Progress Rate scores released by the NCAA, 11 Vanderbilt teams received perfect 1000 APR scores: baseball, men’s basketball, men’s golf, men’s tennis, women’s basketball, women’s cross country, bowling, women’s golf, lacrosse, soccer and women’s track & field. Moreover, seven Commodore squads earned the prestigious Public Recognition Award, which honors programs ranking in the top 10 percent nationally in multiyear APR scores in each sport.

In 2016, Williams again demonstrated his hiring prowess. Williams orchestrated two successful searches resulting in the hiring of two of the nation’s top basketball coaches, Bryce Drew and Stephanie White, to led the respective Vanderbilt men’s and women’s programs.

Drew and White join a growing list of highly regarded head coaches hired

by Williams, including head football coach Derek Mason in 2013. The next year, Williams attracted Darren Ambrose from the University of Pennsylvania to direct the women’s soccer program. In 2012, Williams directed the search for men’s golf coach Scott Limbaugh, who has since led the team in three straight NCAA Final Eight appearances and just earned men’s golf National Coach of the Year recognition. In addition, Williams has hired Greg Allen (women’s golf coach), Ian Duvenhage (men’s tennis coach) and Steven Keith (cross country/track coach), all who have taken their teams to NCAA postseason.

Allen and Keith also have guided their teams to SEC team titles. Williams has also retained top coaches and staffs by orchestrating extensions for Mason, baseball coach Tim Corbin, women’s tennis coach Geoff MacDonald and women’s bowling coach John Williamson.

Williams has addressed numerous facility upgrades, including a state-of-theart training center which opened February 2016 in McGugin Center. The new training center provides top-notch medical care for Vanderbilt student-athletes.

Crews recently finished replacing the football practice field, on the John Rich Practice Facility, with highly sought after Shaw Sports synthetic turf. Ground was broken immediately after this past baseball season for a new expansion of our wonderful baseball complex, Hawkins Field. Other improvements in recent years include refurbishing of Vanderbilt Stadium and its football locker rooms, an addition of new tennis courts and amenities at Brownlee O. Currey Tennis Center, renovations in Memorial Gym and McGugin Center, a new multipurpose

156

facility for athletic and general university use, a new four-lane bowling center and a clubhouse with hitting bays for our men’s and women’s golf programs.

An initiative to allow more overseas travel and study abroad for Vanderbilt student-athletes also has become reality during Williams’ tenure. In 2013, 15 athletes ventured to Tanzania during the summer for a service trip to bring shoes to underprivileged communities in Africa in conjunction with Soles4Souls.

The partnership continued in 2014 with another community service effort to Costa Rica. In 2015, Williams led the summer service trip to Cuba, and this past summer a group of Commodores ventured to Jamaica on a service trip in partnership with Soles4Souls.

More students within Vanderbilt’s athletic community were able to study abroad, including current football players Josh Smith, LaDarius Wiley, Jared Southers, Andre Mintze and Jaire George. In 2016, the Athletic Department began a newly created Internship Program for student-athletes matching them with employers who provide real life training for life after college. The program continued in 2017 and has received rave reviews from the student athletes, the employers, the NCAA as well as other colleges and universities.

In association with Vanderbilt Athletics, Williams has served as a member of the SEC team that negotiated past ESPN and CBS television partner contracts.

Williams also served as Chair of the NCAA Infraction Appeals Committee and was a member of the NCAA Enforcement Working Group.

Williams came to Vanderbilt in 2000 to serve as Vice Chancellor, General Counsel and University Secretary, after a 14-year tenure at The Ohio State University, where he served in numerous administrative roles including Vice Provost for Minority Affairs, Vice President of Student and Urban/Community Affairs and Professor of Law. A native of Detroit, Williams received a Bachelor of Science in Social Sciences and Master of Arts in Education from Northern Michigan University, where he was a member of the university track team and has been selected as a distinguished alumni. He also earned a Master of Business Administration (MBA) and a Doctor of Jurisprudence (JD) from the University of Detroit, where Williams presently serves on the University’s Board of Trust. Williams also earned an LL.M., in Taxation from New York University. Before entering law school, Williams spent 10 years as a teacher and coach in the Detroit public school system.

Williams has taught at the law schools of the University of Detroit, Capital University, Ohio State and Vanderbilt. He also twice directed The Ohio State University’s Law program in Oxford, England. Williams was elected outstanding law professor at both the University of Detroit and at The Ohio State University.

Williams is active in the greater Nashville area community, serving as a board member with several organizations. He serves on the boards of the Middle Tennessee Community Foundation, the Nashville Sports Council, the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame and the Nashville Public Education Foundation.

Williams served two terms on former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean’s Procurement Standards Board and two terms as a Nashville branch member on the Atlanta Federal Reserve Board. He also served as chair of the Nashville United Way Board and treasurer and board member for the Nashville Symphony.

In December 2017, Williams was selected by the Tennessee Tribune as Tennessean of the Year.

Williams and his wife, Gail met in law school and have four children: Erika, a grade school teacher in Detroit and graduate of Eastern Michigan; David III, a high school counselor in Detroit, two-time graduate of Bowling Green (Ohio) State and doctorate recipient from Michigan State; Samantha (Sam), a graduate of Brown University and Vanderbilt Law School who has practiced corporate law in Houston; and Nicholas (Nick), a graduate of and former student-athlete at High Point (N.C.) University who recently earned his master’s degree from Vanderbilt’s Peabody College of Education. Sam and Nick both attended high school in Nashville where Sam was an All-State swimmer at Harpeth Hall and Nick was an All-State athlete in soccer and track and a four-year basketball member at the University School of Nashville.

Gail is a graduate of the University of Michigan and the University of Detroit Law School. She serves as Associate Director of Community Relations for Vanderbilt and is past president and former board member of the University School of Nashville Board of Trustees. In addition, she is Board Chair of the Metro Transit Authority. Gail also serves on the boards of many non-profit organizations including the Frist Center, the Women’s Fund Advisory Board, the Tennessee Performance Arts Center and the Baptist Healing Trust. She was also recently re-elected President of the Nashville Chapter of The Links, Inc.

VANDERBILT STADIUM:

COMMODORE HOME SINCE 1981 Several improvements have been made to 40,350-capacity Vanderbilt Stadium, which has served as home to the Commodores since 1981.

Vanderbilt Stadium's Dudley Field playing surface, where the Dores have played since the early 1920s, also has received updates in recent years. In 2012, it returned to a synthetic surface for the first time in more than decade when the university decided to add cushioned Shaw Sportexe turf. The surface has drawn rave reviews from players, who also benefited with the addition of new stadium lights the same year.

The 2012 work adds to other major improvements. A thorough exterior renovation was completed in 2010, including new plazas and entrances at Gates 2 & 3 and an exterior effort to unify Vanderbilt Stadium, Hawkins Field and Memorial Gymnasium.
