Vandagriff played high school football at Prince Avenue Christian School in Bogart, Georgia. Vandagriff was a five-star recruit coming out of high school.[1] He originally committed to play college football at Oklahoma, but later decommitted after concerns about playing far away from home.[2] He later committed to Georgia.[3][4]
In Georgia's G-Day spring game Vandagriff went six of nine for 47 yards.[5] He spent most of 2021 as a backup to Stetson Bennett and incumbent starter JT Daniels.[6] He made his college football debut against UAB.[7] He also played in reserve in Georgia's win over FCS opponent Charleston Southern.[8] The team went on to win the Orange Bowl and a national championship.[9][10]
In 2022, Vandagriff appeared in three games against Samford,[11] South Carolina, and Vanderbilt.[7] He only attempted two passes as both went for incompletions; he also had one rush attempt for seven yards.[12] The team went on to win the Peach Bowl and back-to-back national championships.[13][14]
In 2023, Vandagriff competed with redshirt junior Carson Beck and redshirt freshman Gunner Stockton for the starting quarterback job at Georgia, with Beck being named the starter.[15] He entered the transfer portal on December 4, 2023.[16][17]
