A source close to former Missouri quarterback Marvin Zanders tells Gridiron Now that Zanders expects to continue his college football career at Vanderbilt. Zanders initially decided to attend Virginia after graduating from Missouri, but decided Nashville – where he has family – is a better fit than Charlottesville.
Vanderbilt coaches remained in contact with Zanders even after he announced in January he would be playing for the Cavaliers. The source says that while Zanders was hoping to keep his initial commitment to Virginia, his greater comfort level with living in Nashville proved too much to overcome.
