Tom Lemming was in Nashville over the weekend to scout out 2025 prospects. Quite a few were at Lipscomb Academy, CPA, and Ensworth and have been on already on Vandy's radar for a long time. But Lemming pointed out one name I hadn't heard mentioned... Jon Adair is a 6-5 280 left tackle at Lipscomb Ac...

One coach has called him "the best athlete in the state of Tennessee." VU football signee London Humphreys, now a graduated senior from CPA, capped off his four-sport athletic career by winning two events at the Division II-AA state meet at MTSU, and placing in two others. Here were his re...

Tennessean (premium): Tax records reveal Clark Lea's Vanderbilt football salary, Derek Mason's severance by Aria Gerson You should keep in mind, 2021 was Coach Lea's first year, and he had no prior coaching experience.

I haven't heard a good answer to the question about locker rooms for this fall. Vanderbilt has locker rooms in McGugin and can dress there, but what are the visitors going to do? It's hard to imagine that a suitable visitors' locker room could be constructed in the three months between now and late ...

From opposite corners of the stadium...
