Justin Skule was born on November 23rd, 1996, in Clifton, Virginia. He is an offensive tackle for the San Francisco 49ers in the NFL.

A native of Clifton, Virginia, Skule (pronounced school) started all 25 games for the Commodores in 2017 and 2018 and became a leader on the offensive side of the ball. He was a sturdy left tackle for the Commodores, sliding there from the right tackle spot. Skule was an All-State pick and Washington Post All-Metro performer at Centreville High School in Virginia before heading to Nashville. While he wasn’t invited to the NFL Combine, his 6’7”, 317-pound frame naturally drew scouts’ attention. 

In San Francisco, Skule will get to play alongside former Vanderbilt Wide Receiver Jordan Matthews, who signed with the 49ers this offseason. On top of just having a Vanderbilt teammate on the roster, the Bay Area boasts a number of notable Vanderbilt alums, including Golden State Warrior Damian Jones and San Francisco Giant Tyler Beede. Skule said he’s grateful to have such an incredible alumni network from Vanderbilt across the board.
