Bryce Cowan is Vanderbilt’s high-upside linebacker with splash-play juice
Bryce Cowan enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-4, 242-pound senior who has flashed real playmaking ability for Vanderbilt, including a 2025 line of 31 tackles, 4 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, and 5 forced fumbles. He’s a rangy, physical linebacker with special-teams and disruption value, and local coverage says his role is expected to grow after years of waiting for a full-time starting break. The big appeal: he brings length, energy, and turnover juice—exactly the kind of “suddenly, hello” defender who can tilt a game when his motor is revving.
