Two key players who made splashes in 2014 are working their way back to the field for Vanderbilt, where the coaching staff expects to have solid play at quarterback following a transfer and juggling of the depth chart.

Yet at linebacker and in the secondary, Vanderbilt has at least two players at each position who can measure up with some of the best in the SEC. All that doesn’t even mention the team’s best player at running back, who is among the most overlooked players in the SEC.

Here’s a rundown of the Commodores’ 10 best players coming out of spring:

10. Tre Herndon, CB

The second or third-best player in the Vanderbilt secondary, Herndon could be tested if opponents throw away from his more highly regarded teammates. He started every game last season and was fifth on the team with 47 tackles. He had several memorable games last season, including eight solo tackles against Texas A&M and five solo tackles against Tennessee.

9. Torren McGaster, CB

Likely the team’s top cover corner, McGaster returns after collecting 13 pass breakups in 2015, which was tied for third in the SEC. He had 51 tackles including 4.5 for a loss. A consistent player, McGaster has started 22 games the past two seasons.

8. Nigel Bowden, LB

Last season was cut short because of a concussion against Georgia, but Bowden made the All-SEC coaches team in 2014. That was after he had 78 tackles, which led all first-year SEC players. Despite limitations to recover from the concussion, Bowden made the SEC honor roll in fall 2015.

7. Oren Burks, S

Burks has started 16 consecutive games and led the team with three interceptions last season. He added 59 tackles, which was third on the team. One of his best games came against Kentucky when he had two interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown.

6. C.J. Duncan, WR

Missed last season because of a leg injury, but Duncan started nine games in 2014, and played in 11. Two seasons ago, Duncan was the team’s third-leading receiver with 28 catches for 441 yards, but tied for the team high with four TDs.

5. Kyle Shurmur, QB

Following the transfer of Johnny McCrary, Shurmur has the reigns of the offense after he ended the season as the starting quarterback. He led the Commodores to wins over Missouri and Kentucky, and overall was 44-for-103 for 503 yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions. He threw for 209 yards and three touchdowns in the season finale at Tennessee.

4. Trent Sherfield, WR

The team’s leading receiver in 2015, Sherfield had 51 catches for 659 yards and three touchdowns. He also had 55 rushing yards on four reverses. But he’s most remembered for his standout performance against Austin Peay when he had 16 catches for a school-record 240 yards.

3. Zach Cunningham, LB

The team’s leading tackler in 2015, Cunningham had 103 tackles, including 16.5 for a loss, nearly double the number of any teammate. He was tied for most fumble recoveries with three, and had four forced fumbles. Cunningham made a late push to establish himself among the top defenders in the SEC despite not starting three games last season.

2. Andrew Jelks, OT

The left tackle returns from missing the 2015 season with a knee injury suffered during preseason camp. Before the injury, Jelks was a 2013 Freshman All-American and expected to start at left tackle for a second straight season. He had started 21 consecutive games, 12 at left tackle and nine at right tackle. In 2014, he played 90 percent of the offensive snaps, and had 16 pancake blocks and 14 domination blocks. In 2013, he had 42 blocks that led directly to a Vanderbilt first down or touchdown.

1. Ralph Webb, RB

The fifth player to rush for 1,000 yards at Vanderbilt, Webb is consistently on lists of underrated or overlooked players in the SEC. He rushed for 1,152 yards last season with five touchdowns. Webb also had 24 catches for 188 yards and two TDs. His consecutive start streak is up to 24 games.
