Tyler Tanner is Vanderbilt’s do-it-all backcourt engine
In the 2025-26 season, Tyler Tanner emerged as Vanderbilt’s breakout guard, averaging 19.5 points, 5.1 assists, and 2.4 steals while starting 33 of 36 games and handling heavy minutes. He’s a difference-maker because he impacts winning beyond scoring: he creates offense, pressures the ball, and brings elite competitive fire, highlighted by a 29-point, 7-assist, 4-steal night against Alabama and a 14-assist game that tied a Vanderbilt record. If your team needs a tough, high-motor lead guard who can run the show and defend, Tanner fits the bill nicely.
