2025 Vanderbilt Commodores Football Offseason Tracker: Coming and Going
It's been a relatively calm offseason for the Vanderbilt Commodores, at least in comparison to many of its Southeastern Conference comrades. Even better is that thing will likely stay that way as the football program heads toward spring practices and the eventual start of the 2025 season on Aug. 30 (Charleston Southern) :
Some of the key dates and deadlines are as follows:
- Signing Day: The Early Signing Period began on Dec. 4. The regular signing day is Feb. 5, 2025.
- Transfer portal: The NCAA Division I Council reduced the transfer portal windows from 45 to 30 days. The winter portal opened Dec. 9, and closed Dec. 28. The spring portal will be open April 16-25.
- 2025 NFL Draft: The deadline to opt out of the 2025 draft is Feb. 7. The 2025 NFL Scouting Combine will take place Feb. 24-March 3 in Indianapolis. The 2025 NFL Draft will be held in Green Bay, Wisc., April 24-26.
