Vanderbilt’s secondary was one of the few strengths of the defense in 2017, but in 2018, the Commodores will be retooling a bit.
Ryan White, the team’s starter at strong safety, who led the team with two interceptions and finished fourth on the team with 60 total tackles, is gone. So, too, is reserve safety and nickel back Arnold Tarpley, who started five games and had 29 tackles and three pass breakups.
There’s some good news in the fact that starting free safety LaDarius Wiley is back, and there are multiple prospects here who were four-star recruits.
