To say that Vanderbilt had issues with placekicking in 2020 would be an understatement. Ryley Guay graduated after the 2019 season and enrolled at the med school, and placekicking duties then went to walk-on Pierson Cooke, who beat out scholarship kicker Javan Rice for the job. Cooke went 4-of-9 on field goal attempts in 2020, and that included two misses inside of 30 yards — where, frankly, any college kicker should be automatic.
