Khalil Poteat transfers from Temple to Vanderbilt football for 2026 season

Khalil Poteat, a defensive end who recently transferred from Temple, has committed to join Vanderbilt football for the 2026 season, following his successful appeal for a fifth year of eligibility. Poteat played 10 games in 2025, contributing 29 tackles, including two for loss, and one sack. His move to Vanderbilt comes after entering the transfer portal in January, and he is part of a group of players granted similar NCAA injunctions under the new "5-in-5" eligibility rule. Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea indicated that the team is prepared to adapt to these potential additions without needing to release any players.
