With the Class of 2020 set to report soon, here's a handy breakdown of the allotted scholarships by position and class.
The summer semester at Vanderbilt begins on Tuesday, so the incoming freshman class should be on campus very soon. With that in mind, we thought we'd update you on the team's roster entering the preseason.
At the moment, Vanderbilt projects to have 82 scholarship players for the 2016 season, three below the NCAA limit. Last season, the Commodores had (by my count) 81 players on scholarship, with 8 seniors. In addition, 11 other players have left the program:
