For the first time since 2015, the Vanderbilt Commodores enter fall camp not knowing who their quarterback will be.
That year, Johnny McCrary beat out Kyle Shurmur for the starting job just before the season opener against Western Kentucky. McCrary mixed poor play with just enough flashes of upside to hang on to the job for six games, until a dreadful performance at South Carolina led to Derek Mason burning Shurmur’s redshirt. Shurmur gained enough of a foothold that McCrary left the program after the season, and that was that.
