Vanderbilt football nears season opener amid quarterback competition

Vanderbilt football has completed its first fall scrimmage and is entering the final stages of fall camp. As the team prepares for its September 5 opener against Austin Peay, the depth chart and key contributors are becoming clearer.

A primary focus for head coach Clark Lea is the quarterback competition between Blaze Berlowitz and Jared Curtis. Curtis is viewed as a more explosive option capable of high-scoring performances, though he may be more prone to mistakes. Berlowitz is considered the safer, more consistent option, though his style may align more closely with the team’s 2024 offensive approach.
