Respectfully disagree.

1.) He has made plenty of plays on the ball, and I’d bet he is the leader on this team in PD. I don’t know what his targets vs completion % is but I’m sure someone can find it.

2.) Even if he was a 1000% “one trick pony”, it’s what he is being asked to do. He is excelling in his role, and objectively he can’t be knocked for doing what he is being asked to do. A useless minute long twitter HL clip that uses arbitrary clips is pretty useless for this discussion. The games tell a different story. Off the top of my head I remember pretty important pass break ups vs ND, SMU, and Syracuse, along with several other plays made on the ball carrier.
Over 9 Games:
He's been pretty **** great. And the amount of Pass Play tackling forced stops he's had has been straight up elite. AND barely allowing any Yards/Target... Though he has by far the lowest Average depth of target at 4.4.

Need to get this kid in for Spring.

We'll probably Portal in another Nickelback (word to Chad Kroeger), but if not, this kid has all the tools to be an effective Nickel in this Defense.

But it's imperative he get in for Spring to get in on the competition early.
I'd be very surprised if we didn't hit portal for at least one of Nickel or Safety right now.

But if we landed Blake Stewart and had like Him, Dennigan, Whoever else all competing for the nickel spot, that'd be great. Idk why any CBs on the roster wouldn't have been begging for Nickel reps all season to get experience there so far. And same for the incoming CB class. I think Jaelan Waters should want to compete for the nickel spot right away too ..

We really need Fitzgerald to really take a leap next season though so him and Poyser can be locked in.

This is correct; 3 way-tie. Everyone below the 6 pictured has 1 or none.

I saw your boy Mister Clarke and FIU couple weeks back…He makes plays. Wouldn't mind that honestly, some p4 gonna take him for sure.
