Martel Hight’s Role Shift at Vanderbilt

Martel Hight’s versatile talent nearly got lost in the shuffle—until he embraced his true calling. After struggling to carve out a role on offense with just seven catches and dwindling snaps, Coach Lea made the smart move: let him shine as a cornerback. The switch paid off big time—Hight delivered career-best defensive grades, snagged four interceptions, and even added kick return magic. Now, he’s laser-focused on defense and special teams, proving that sometimes, the best play is the one that lets you be exactly who you are.
