steady, academic-minded Vanderbilt corner with SEC-tested reliability
In the 2024 season, Tyson Russell played in all 13 games for Vanderbilt, made two starts, and logged 20 tackles while earning SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll recognition. He wasn’t a flashy ballhawk—his college stat line finished with 92 tackles, 1 interception, and 5 pass deflections over 44 games—but that’s exactly the kind of profile teams value: dependable, assignment-sound, and durable. At 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, he brings good functional size, a steady intensity, and a history of showing up consistently in SEC play.
