Vanderbilt Continues to Add Depth Along D-Line

The Commodores now have five defensive lineman transfers from the winter and spring portal windows, giving them more than enough depth to compete in the SEC.

Vanderbilt will have no shortage of fresh bodies to rotate in-and-out along the defensive line. The Commodores have 11 defensive linemen on its current roster and, after yesterday, have added four more in the spring transfer portal cycle.

The most recent is former BYU lineman Joshua Singh, who announced his commitment on social media Wednesday. Singh will be a graduate student after spending four seasons with the Cougars. He saw his most playing time last season, playing in all 13 games and recording 10 tackles and 1.5 tackles for a loss.

The 6-foot, 285-pound native of Laie, Hawaii had 14 total tackles in his BYU career. He joins Jaylon Stone, Mason Nelson and Terry Nwabuisi-Ezeala as spring defensive line transfers, along with former Texas lineman Aaron Bryant in the winter transfer portal window.
