Anchor Drop, December 12, 2022: Schoenwald Out

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

Vanderbilt tight end Gavin Schoenwald announced on Twitter Sunday that he will not be returning to the team next season, electing not to use his free COVID year.

Schoenwald was a high school teammate of Darius Garland and Cam Johnson at Brentwood Academy, and stayed the longest of the three. After not making a single catch in his first three years in the program, Schoenwald ended his career with 13 catches for 142 yards and 4 touchdowns over the last two seasons, and he emerged as one of the team’s leaders. He will be missed, but it’s completely understandable that a fifth-year guy wants to be done with football (note that he’s not entering the transfer portal.)
