The SEC generally, and Georgia's schedule specifically is absolutely full of elite players. Along with the other preview series we're running here at Dawg Sports as fall practice looms, I thought it would be instructive to look at the ten best players the Red and Black will see this season. We begin with a Vandy defensive back who's going to have a lot on his shoulders this year.
Martel Hight, CB, Vanderbilt (vs. Vanderbilt, Oct. 3)
With Diego Pavia gone to the NFL, Vanderbilt's defense becomes the more proven side of the ball, and Hight is its anchor. In 2025 he led the SEC in interceptions among defensive players, finishing with four picks and 35 tackles despite Vanderbilt not placing any defenders on the All-SEC teams.
Hight has been a steady piece of the Vanderbilt secondary since his true freshman year, when he played in all 12 games and accounted for 38 tackles and an interception. As a sophomore he added 33 tackles, two interceptions, four passes defended, and a forced fumble, while also handling return duties. He was chosen to represent the program at SEC Media Days entering his senior season, a sign of the trust the staff has in his leadership as the Commodores transition to a new quarterback.
In 2025 the Commodore staff gave Hight a look at receiver, where he'd been a standout in high school. The move made sense with Diego Pavia at QB but question marks surrounding Vandy's receiving corps. Getting Hight, among the best athletes on the roster, more snaps to be explosiive made sense on paper.
On the field it was less of a winner. Hight was targeted just 11 times out of 55 offensive snaps, catching just 7 ***** and accounting for just 64 yards and no touchdowns. Hight played more than 10 offensive snaps in three of Vanderbilt's first four games, then never got that level of usage again. Just one throw went Hight's way after week four, as the staff seems to have realized his highest and best use is at corner.

Hightower President Roberto Stewart is stepping down from his role and leaving the organization less than three months after joining the firm.
According to a Hightower spokesperson, Stewart "made the difficult decision to step away from his role for personal reasons," and the firm intends to name his replacement "in the near future."
"He remains committed to Hightower and will work closely with the leadership team to support a smooth transition," the spokesperson said. "We are grateful for his leadership and contributions to the firm and wish him all the best."
Stewart originally joined Hightower as its president and chief business officer in April to lead "enterprise services and support the firm's next phase of growth" by overseeing Hightower One, the firm's newly established back- and middle-office platform.

Phillies predicted to trade for Cubs' $85M Silver Slugger finalist to replace injured Adolis Garcia originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Philadelphia Phillies have experienced their share of struggles for much of the season, but they are beginning to play the brand of baseball that has made them one of the National League's top teams over the past few years.
Offense has been one of the club's biggest issues, as runs have often been difficult to come by.
“The offense the Phillies have been trotting out this season has been putrid at worst, average at best. You know this is something that can be state with almost factual intent when people get excited about the team scoring six runs on Wednesday. There have been a few spurts here and there of competence,” The Good Phight’s Ethan Witte wrote.
Philadelphia suffered another major blow when right fielder Adolis Garcia tore his lat, removing a middle-of-the-order power bat from the lineup.
