Brett Starr brings classic blue-collar linebacker DNA to Vanderbilt
Brett Starr is a Brentwood, Tennessee product who arrived at Vanderbilt with a reputation for toughness, leadership, and versatility—he was a two-year starter at Montgomery Bell Academy, piled up 113 tackles and four interceptions as a senior, and even served as student body president. Vanderbilt listed him at 6-foot-1 and 228 pounds, and his value profile has centered more on instincts, effort, and special-teams reliability than flashy box-score volume. He fits best as a smart, physical depth piece who can help a roster with attitude and consistency.
