On the final episode of Live From West End of the 2025-26 academic year, Sports Editor Henry Oelhafen is joined by Deputy Sports Editor Grace Hall and Senior Sports Analyst David Hernandez. To start the episode, the trio of seniors takes a few minutes to break down the recent 2026 NFL Draft as well as Diego Pavia signing a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens. They then transition onto recapping Vanderbilt Baseball’s series loss to No. 4 Texas. As a final send-off, the trio discusses what The Vanderbilt Hustler has meant to them and reflect on some great moments from the last four years. From bowl game victories to March Madness to weekly meetings, all three reminisce for one final time as their term on The Hustler’s editorial board wraps up on May 1.
