Eli Stowers - Productive on limited snaps Stowers (undisclosed) caught all four targets for 86 yards during Saturday's 45-3 win against Charleston Southern.

Impact Stowers was limited against Charleston Southern as expected, logging just 19 total snaps on the day. The 6-foot-4 senior made the most of his opportunities, however, hauling in all four of his targets four 86 yards, leading the team in yards on the day. Stowers is expected to be one of the top tight ends in the country heading into the 2025 season and certainly looked the part on Saturday, albeit against less-than-stellar competition. His next test will come against Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Brycen Coleman - Limited playing time in opener Coleman (undisclosed) played three snaps without garnering a target during Vanderbilt's 45-3 season opening win over Charleston Southern.

Impact Coleman was previously listed as questionable for Saturday's opener due to an undisclosed injury, but the 6-foot-5 tight end was able to suit up for the Commodores. Despite logging three snaps, Coleman did not see a target, and as the third tight end on the depth chart, isn't likely to see a large role within the Vanderbilt passing attack moving forward. His next chacne to make an impact will come against Virginia Tech on Saturday.

Eli Stowers - May be on limited snap count Stowers (undisclosed) is expected to start, but he may be on a limited snap count during Saturday's opener against Charleston Southern, Joey Dwyer of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Stowers was spotted participating in pregame warmups, but his recent limitations in fall camp lead program insiders to believe he may be on a limited snap count. The 6-foot-4 graduate student is coming off a standout season with the Commodores in which he tallied 49 receptions for 638 yards and five touchdowns in 13 games. If Stowers isn't 100 percent, Vanderbilt might hesitate to deploy him every snap in what figures to be a lopsided game.
