Vanderbilt Football Sets Program Record: The Anchor – Sports Illustrated

In this story:
Vanderbilt football set a program record Friday afternoon as 12 Commodores were named to the National Football Foundation’s Hampshire Honors Society.
Among the 12 were Eli Stowers, Cole Spence, Joshua Singh, Richie Hoskins, Prince Kollie, Diego Pavia, Cade McConnell, Langston Patterson, Bradley Mann, Nick Rinaldo, Marlen Sewell and Charlie Clark.
These 12 Commodores made it into the Hampshire Honors Society by having graduated this spring or summer, see game in action during the 2025 season, received their undergraduate degree, played their final season of eligibility and maintained a GPA of 3.2 or better.
The 2025 Vanderbilt football roster showed success off the field in the classroom, but of course on the field as well. Vanderbilt had a historic 2025 season in which it achieved 10 wins for the first time in program history with a 10-3 record.
The Commodores beat three different teams ranked in the AP top 15 and were even ranked inside the top 10 at one point during the season. It is a team that will be remembered forever by fans in Nashville.
