Anchor Drop, July 6, 2023: 51 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

Optional Musical Accompaniment

We are now 51 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Hawaii. 51 for the Commodores is linebacker/safety Daniel Gaw. The 6’2”, 230-pound redshirt sophomore from Nashville hasn’t played in two seasons at Vanderbilt.

Yep, there’s not really any news today. No new commits, which is probably going to be the case for a while now that there are 19 commits in the class — there’s simply not much room left. The MLB Draft starts on Sunday, so maybe Andrew has some draft stuff coming your way. I’ll get around to the next opponent preview maybe today.
