Vanderbilt Backup QB Blaze Berlowitz Impresses with Confident Throws
30 Jul
Summary
- Berlowitz made a notable throw, trusting his receiver instead of forcing a pass
- Berlowitz has the most arm talent of any QB in Vanderbilt's room
- Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea praised Berlowitz's confident performance

Vanderbilt backup quarterback Blaze Berlowitz is showing signs of progress in recent practices. The junior quarterback, who has perhaps the most arm talent of any QB on the Vanderbilt roster, has been making more impactful throws during the team's workouts.
In a recent practice, Berlowitz demonstrated his growth by making a throw where he trusted his receiver instead of forcing a pass. This type of decision-making could help Berlowitz climb the depth chart, though he currently sits behind starter Diego Pavia.
Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea praised Berlowitz's confident performance, noting that he was "throwing the ball to the open receiver when it was there" and not trying to force throws. This suggests Berlowitz is making strides in reducing turnovers, which has often separated him from Pavia.

Berlowitz's only college appearance came in 2023 when he played for New Mexico State. Now at Vanderbilt after transferring in 2024, the Oklahoma native is working to prove he can be a worthy successor to Pavia. With his physical tools and the coaching staff's confidence in his progress, Berlowitz's time could be coming soon.
