It’s official: Jared Curtis is now QB1 for Vanderbilt! After a competitive battle with Blaze Berlowitz, Curtis gets the keys to the Commodores’ offense. His arm talent, deep-ball ability and potential for explosiveness could give Vanderbilt a different dimension as SEC play approaches.

But QB1 isn’t the only storyline. We also break down what the offense could look like with Curtis under center and identify Brian Longwell as a major defensive X-factor heading into the NC State matchup.

Is Vanderbilt ready to unleash Jared Curtis?

Can Vanderbilt’s play action and downfield threats like Junior Sherrill transform the offense? Don’t miss this in-depth preview of Vanderbilt’s crucial showdown against NC State.
