Vanderbilt football has found itself searching for an offensive spark heading into the 2024 season. The Commodores may have found one Saturday in the form of Texas Tech transfer wideout Loic Fouonji.
Fouonji spent four seasons at Texas Tech, but has an extra year of eligilbity due to the COVID-19-affected 2020 season. His most impressive season with the Red Raiders came in 2022 as a junior, when he appeared in 13 games and racked up three touchdowns and 451 receiving yards.
The wide receiver was born in Cameroon and moved to the United States when he was 8 years old, and began his impressive football resume at Legacy High School (formerly Robert E. Lee High School) in Midland, Texas. He caught 40 touchdown passes through three high school seasons, including 22 as a senior, and was widely regarded as one of the best playmakers in the state of Texas, according to his Texas Tech bio page.

Fouonji will provide necessary aid to a Vanderbilt offense that was last in total yards (3,828) and second last in total points (274) across the SEC last season. Standing at an impressive 6-foot-4, the wide receiver is a solid target with consistent hands and the quickness to break containment and make the big plays.
