Vanderbilt's New Offensive Line Tested

Vanderbilt’s offensive line, once dubbed “The Union” for their dominance, is undergoing a major rebuild ahead of the 2026 season after losing key veterans like Jordan White and Isaia Glass. New recruits Beau Johnson, Lyndon Cooper, and Micah DeBose join returning stalwarts Cade McConnell and Kevo Wesley — the latter returning from injury — to form the foundation of the new unit. Coach Clark Lea is optimistic about the talent and chemistry developing under offensive line coaches Chris Klenakis and Jeff Nady, with McConnell and Wesley expected to lead the charge. Lea’s confidence stems from spring progress and the depth of the group, as the success of the 2026 season hinges on this line’s ability to establish the run game and protect the new quarterback.
