Vanderbilt names Blaze Berlowitz starting quarterback over Jared Curtis

Vanderbilt University has named senior Blaze Berlowitz as the starting quarterback for the upcoming season opener against Austin Peay on September 5. The decision comes as the team opts for experience over the potential of true freshman Jared Curtis, a highly touted five-star recruit. Curtis, who is expected to see playing time in the game, might not start until 2027. While Berlowitz had limited action last season, throwing for 131 yards and a touchdown, the Commodores are in a position to prioritize a stable performance as they look to continue their program's revival. The coaching staff indicated that Curtis could take over later in the season if necessary.
