Is Brock Vandagriff's relationship with his soccer star girlfriend the ultimate sports power couple story?

Having shared interest strengthens the bond and sustains the relationship.” Brock Vandagriff and his girlfriend exemplify this. They both have a deep interest in the competitive sports world. However, a negligible difference is there! While his girlfriend plays soccer well, Brock pursues his interest in gridiron. But both of them are pros in their respective field.

With victories in the Orange Bowl and Peach Bowl, Brock made a significant contribution to Georgia’s back-to-back national championship victories in 2021 and 2022 as a backup QB. By 2023, Vandagriff was competing with Carson Beck and Gunner Stockton for the starting quarterback spot in a cutthroat environment. But his excellence and ambition led him to the transfer portal, and he joined Kentucky Wildcats.

It turns out the Kentucky star’s love interest is a talented soccer player for the Samford Bulldogs: Layton Glisson. After graduating from Auburn University, she plans to pursue a career in sports broadcasting, with a focus on communication and journalism. Born on July 5, 2002, in Dacula, Georgia, Glisson attended Hebron Christian Academy and started her soccer journey.
