Vaughn Mitchom brings compact, scrappy cornerback value to Samford
In the 2026 season, Vaughn Mitchom is a sophomore cornerback at Samford listed at 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, and his profile points to a smaller but likely quick, competitive defender with upside in coverage and special-teams-style grit. He transferred in from Clark Atlanta and is now part of a deep Samford defensive back group, which suggests he has to win reps the hard way—through consistency, toughness, and football IQ. If you want an under-the-radar CB who can outwork bigger labels, he’s the kind of fit that earns attention.
