With the early signing period wrapped up, here’s an updated look at Vanderbilt’s scholarship situation for the 2018 football season.
Right now, Vanderbilt is projected to have 82 players on scholarship, three short of the 85-man limit. That includes every player from last year’s team who has eligibility remaining and who hasn’t announced that they’re leaving. Jacob Free, Bailey Granier, Sam Loy, and Jay Hockaday are leaving the program with eligibility remaining.
