Anchor Drop, June 9, 2019: 83 Days to Kickoff

Good morning.

We are now 83 days away from Vanderbilt football’s season opener against Georgia. #83 is sophomore WR C.J. Bolar. The 6’3”, 190-pound Purvis, Mississippi, native was, to put it bluntly, stolen right from under the noses of his home-state schools: while he did have an offer from Mississippi State (and Southern Miss, where his mother played basketball), Ole Miss was notably absent from his recruitment. As a freshman, he caught 34 passes for 440 receiving yards and two touchdowns. His role only figures to increase from here, though he may have a hard time getting more touches in Vanderbilt’s suddenly-potent receiving corps.
