Vanderbilt football opens preseason with quarterback competition in practice

Vanderbilt football held its first preseason practice on August 5, focusing on its offensive lineup, particularly the quarterbacks. Jared Curtis and Blaze Berlowitz are competing for the starting position, with mixed performances noted during drills. Offensive coordinator Tim Beck indicated a desire to blend strategies from previous seasons to create a more dynamic offense. While Junior Sherrill remains a key target at receiver, the team plans to involve versatile running backs in the passing game as well. A starting quarterback is expected to be named by the first scrimmage later in the preseason.
