The ascent of Trent

Last season, head coach Derek Mason said he wanted to give Trent Sherfield the ball, but the freshman receiver only had three carries and one catch for 49 total yards in seven games. Still, coaches and players alike had nothing but the highest praise for him going into this season.

It only took him three games to show everyone else why.

In the Commodores’ first win of the season, Sherfield set a Vanderbilt record with 240 receiving yards, helping launch him to second in the SEC with 465 receiving yards and tops in the conference with 34 receptions.
