VMI’s Reliable Multi-Role Specialist with a Holder’s Precision
Aaron Vardell has been a steady, low-drama piece for VMI, highlighted by playing in all 11 games in 2022 as the primary holder and executing successful holds in every game except one bad snap/hold sequence all season. He also flashed versatility with punt duties and a career-best 48-yard punt against Mercer in 2022, which is the kind of special-teams flexibility coaches love. The big selling point is trust: he’s dependable, assignment-sound, and has already shown he can handle multiple roles without blinking.
