NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Marlen Sewell has been named Vanderbilt’s representative on the 2025 SEC Football Community Service Team it was announced by the conference office on Thursday.
The graduate safety from Birmingham, Alabama, has been one of the Commodores’ leaders volunteering during his time in school highlighted by multiple visits to support patients at the Monroe Carell Jr. Children’s Hospital as well as assisting in fundraising for the Dancing Dores Dance Marathon event that benefits the hospital. Sewell participated in the program’s summer social impact day in July and has helped distribute gifts to children in need at the SAAC Holiday Party, while he was one of Vandy’s representatives on a visit to a veterans’ hospital prior to playing in the Birmingham Bowl last December.
He took part in Vanderbilt’s MLK Day of Service trip to Atlanta last January and has volunteered for Special Olympics Tennessee as well.
For his service efforts, Sewell was the program’s nominee for the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team and was also named to the Allstate Wuerffel Trophy Watch List prior to the start of the season.
A starter in all 12 contests so far this fall, he has been credited with career high totals of 48 tackles, 1½ stops behind the line of scrimmage and two passes broken up, and he recorded his first career sack in the Dores’ Senior Day victory over Kentucky on Nov. 22. His efforts have helped Vanderbilt to the first-ever 10-win season in program history, with the Commodores standing 10-2 going into the announcement of the College Football Playoff field Sunday.
