Experienced Austin Peay safety with a proven senior-year impact
Vanatta enters his senior year at Austin Peay with a track record as a steady, productive safety, highlighted by a strong showing in 2025 that the program itself described as part of a “fruitful career” at the position.[4] His value is more than box-score noise: he brings veteran experience, back-end stability, and the kind of reliability coaches want from a DB who can handle game-to-game adjustments. If you need a defense-ready fit who has already shown he can contribute at a high level in the Govs’ secondary, he is worth watching closely.[4]
