Vanderbilt's Hard-Hitting Safety from the Mid-2000s Era
Ben Koger, a 6-1, 185-pound safety from Brentwood, TN, starred for Vanderbilt from 2004-2007, earning National Football Foundation honors in 2006 for blending on-field excellence with academics and leadership; his high school senior year exploded with 120 tackles, 3 INTs, and over 3,000 all-purpose yards as a kick returner, powering his team to an 8-5 record and state quarterfinals. A gritty, versatile defender with ball skills and special teams upside, Koger embodies the intense, multi-dimensional playmaker ideal for teams needing reliable DB depth—though long graduated, his Commodores legacy highlights proven SEC toughness.
