Possible dual-sport player…
… has committed to play WR for the football ‘Dores.
Duran Parish has some Division I basketball offers, including from Cincy and Mississippi State.

Who are some other notable 2-sport players from Vanderbilt?
I recall Jamie Graham (DB?) put in some good minutes as a basketball guard in the Stallings era.
Power Forward Rod Freeman had a cup of coffee as an NFL tight end, but I don’t believe he played football for Vanderbilt.
Basketball guard Willie Daunic and football QB Steve Burger played baseball.
I’m sure there were many if you look back to the sixties and beyond.
