Anchor Drop, August 12, 2019: 19 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

We are now 19 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Georgia. #19 for the Commodores is WR Chris Pierce. The 6’4”, 225-pound junior from Smithfield, Virginia, started eight games in 2018 and had 13 catches for 128 yards, both numbers ranking sixth on the team; he also caught his first touchdown pass.

Vanderbilt soccer opened its exhibition season with a 3-0 win over Belmont on Sunday night at Vanderbilt Soccer Complex. Blue Ellis, Haley Hopkins, and Raegan Kelley scored goals for Vanderbilt.
