Kevo Wesley injury update: Clark Lea casts doubt on Vanderbilt OL's chances to play in 2025

Vanderbilt offensive lineman Kevo Wesley is coming off a career-best season and number of appearances on the Commodores’ offensive line. There’s now concern within that program, though, that he may not play at all this fall.

Head coach Clark Lea provided some injury updates for Vandy while speaking to the media at practice on Wednesday. Wesley was included in that with a possibly season-ending injury that he’s been dealing with.

“Kevo Wesley is going to be long-term,” Lea said. “So, you know, that for Kevo was a thing through the summer that I don’t know that he’s going to make it back in time to compete this season. We’ll go through a process with him to see where that nets out for him.”

Wesley is set to enter year six as part of the team at Vanderbilt. He played just once over his first two seasons before making 27 appearances over the past three, including career-highs in games and starts with a dozen games played and five starts, respectively, in his fifth year last season with 371 snaps at guard for the Commodores.

Even without him, Vanderbilt can still put together an offensive line that can work. It’ll just be one that’ll have to learn to work together with only so many returners, including six as part of a Top 30 class from the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Wesley has already been a graduate for over a year now. His football eligibility remains to be seen, though, now that he is dealing with an injury that could keep him off the field entirely in 2025.
