Man, that was a lot of players. When you think back, our secondary had Lorenzo Doss, Parry Nickerson, and Donnie Lewis. Do we have anyone on this roster that will be drafted. Any ideas on the two deep depth chart. Is there an argument that this group is better/deeper than we were three years ago?

[tjtlja]

This seems to be the hardest position to predict. I would say Harper, Keyes, Barge, and Hall will be on the field. Same could be said for Monroe and several others. Any guesses to who will be the primary players. Seems like a lot of competition which is a good thing.

LCB Thakarius Keyes

RCB Willie Langham

3rd CB Jaylon Monroe or Chris Joyce

FS Tyler Judson

SS Chace Kuercherson

$ Tirese Barge / Larry Bryant

3rd Safety P.J. Hall or Macon Clark

The freshmen will play special teams and hopefully not have to contribute much, except Judson. He may already be one of the top two safeties in the program. Harrison, Walker and Norman will probably redshirt.

I agree about Langham, he seems to be the playmaker of the group. I like him a lot.

[Saintgreenie]

Gotta love Langham's size. He definitely has the tangibles to turn into THE guy and be drafted like his predecessors. Hopefully he continues to develop and takes a big leap this year.

Do you guys see this as a position of strength? Can they shut down UCF, Memphis, Houston, etc.?

[long green]

Joyce spent some time at WR when we were short handed there early last year. It may have slowed down his development. I could see him making a real jump this spring.

tj, I think their ability to slow down the high powered teams we face is entirely dependent on QB pressure. If our d-line can get consistent pressure, and we should be able to with what we return, then the defensive backs will be able to make plays.
