Spence Injury Rattles Vandy’s Season Opener Plans | College Basketball News

Vanderbilt’s starting tight end, Cole Spence, is now questionable for their season opener against Austin Peay after a sudden injury popped up this week—just days before kickoff. Coach Clark Lea says they’re being cautious, monitoring his recovery and refusing to rush him back. Spence was even on the initial depth chart, making this development all the more unexpected. With another key player heading to the NFL and Spence’s history of injuries—including a torn ACL last season—the team is prioritizing his long-term health over immediate game plans. The matchup at FirstBank Stadium on September 5th at 6 PM CT could see major offensive adjustments if he can’t play. Fans will have to stay tuned as game day nears.
