Vanderbilt’s offensive line depth took a hit this week as redshirt junior Cole Hardin has left the Commodore program. It didn’t take the three-year veteran long to find his next home as the North Alabama program announced his addition Tuesday.

In his three seasons in Nashville, Hardin saw limited action for the Commodores and failed to make an appearance on the field last season due to injuries. Despite his limited duties in the past, Hardin was expected to compete for the starting role at center for the coming season.

Hardin signed with Vanderbilt out of Florence High School in Florence, Alabama in the 2014 recruiting cycle.
