I made a thread earlier and I talked little about Armunz Mathews but I just wanted to discuss about Ron Dugans. I also wanted to discuss that maybe depending on circumstances that Tyler Byrd should play safety. My comparisons are based off measurements and what a players does well, not off potential.

Armunz Mathews: Jr. Defense - Armunz Mathews highlights

Junior Offense - Armunz Mathews highlights

I first saw 3* ATH Armunz Mathews from Tallahassee just looking at players Ron Dugans was recruiting for USF, and I actually came away a little shocked that this guy is now getting attention from bama, florida, and ole miss. Apparently Dave Aranda wanted him bad for Wisconsin and lsu did as well to an extent. He's rated everywhere as a corner but I think he's too slow and probably runs a 4.55-4.6 but I think he's a safety and he'll be a good safety. He's very instinctive, a big hitter, and has a thing for causing fumbles, but he's an athlete and can play RB, WR so I put his offensive and defensive tapes up so you guys can determine yourselves.

Player Comparison for Armunz Mathews at safety: Brandon Meriweather, both were under the radar guys that just played hard

Tyler Byrd: T. Byrd's HL Junior-Senior Year - Tyler Byrd highlights

Obviously Tyler Byrd is an amazing prospect that for some reason isn't shown any love other than on this page but everyone says he should play corner and I agree but depending on the circumstances like if we get someone like Trayvon Mullen, Shyheim Carter, Nigel Knott, Jayvaughn Myers, or who ever I believe he should move to safety. He's a flat out playmaker would absolutely perfect to play the robber when in cover 1, especially since you have to stay flat your back pedal and he's extremely tough as well as a good tackler. Again I've posted his highlight video

Player Comparison for Tyler Byrd at safety: Ed Reed, both are electric and playmakers. Something that really impressed me was how fluid he is either as a route runner or flipping his hips. I can just imagine him flipping his hips and running sideline to sideline and snagging passes out the sky just like Ed did.

If you have a safety that can play corner he plays corner. If we are truly moving to more man and bump and run this kid has the skills to be the next elite Miami corner. He looked like an absolute beast in the army game. We may be losing Artie but this kid looks ready to come in and takeover.

and I agree. Again the only way he'll play safety in my eyes is if we get someone like trayvon, shyheim, jayvaughn, Nigel, or even lavert hill other than that I wouldn't even try
 
Matthews is good, there going to have him playing the Husky position in the 4-2-5 defensive scheme at USF, He's pretty athletic and has good pop on his hits.
 
Send the Limo for Byrd...After the Army AA game his telephone is gonna light up---played like a savage...
 
If we had enough depth at corner, I'd agree. Tyler's pretty physical and is a willing tackler...would be great to have a safety that can cover in space. We don't have the luxury of moving him, though. He's gonna have to plug and play at corner.
