Martel Hight is Vanderbilt’s do-it-all secondary spark
Martel Hight is a high-upside, high-energy corner who gives Vanderbilt real versatility: in the 2025 season, he was a starting CB, handled punt returns, and even mixed in on offense while still producing 35 tackles and 4 interceptions. He’s the kind of player coaches love because he shows ball skills, toughness, and playmaking instincts beyond the box score. The fit is easy to see if a team wants a competitive, multi-phase defender who can tilt field position and create splash plays.
