48 years as a Vanderbilt fan should temper my excitement (especially after the last three years) for the start of football season, but for some reason Im actually excited about this season getting started. Maybe its because Lea seems to have a plan in place, unlike his predecessor. Although, lose to Hawaii and/or Elon and all bets are off.
So, as we near kickoff, I was thinking about who I was most excited to see play, and if those individuals can have an impact on the season. Im also curious to see some of your picks.
It can be someone new to the team, or someone that's been here that you expect improvement from.
Mine are.....
Offense: Jayden McGowan and Gunnar Hansen.
McGowan has the speed we seldom have, and I can't wait to see the diffrent ways they utilize him. And Hansen, well, a redshirt freshman starting at LT shows the staff is willing to put the best at any position out there, regardless of experience. I want to see just how good this kid is.
Defense: De'Ricky Wright and C.J. Taylor.
Yes, I know they are listed at the same position. I also think that they're the two most talented defenders we have, and I expect both of them to eventually be on the field at the same time. This is Vanderbilt after all, and you can't afford to have one of your best players on the bench.
