He was a kid that probably needed a couple years to hone skills at CB and get stronger but will probably contribute on specials.
That doesn't change anything for this season. I said 50% of our CB's are going to be well undersized. That's a fact. Couch and Bethel may grow into whatever. The CB room could use another body. Now, if Bethel fills out then maybe he can contribute. I haven't seen him since the season. Couch looks way too skinny to be playing on anything other than passing downs.Bruh... you cant be serious. They will get bigger over time. Most CBs ain't walking into a program at 185+ already. They LEAVE that weight just like every other college athlete lol
I always wondered is he related to the same Nigel bethel that was committed to us and then went to TTU?
That’s his brother and they have the same name lol, crazy right?I always wondered is he related to the same Nigel bethel that was committed to us and then went to TTU?
This is my point exactly. We are one injury away from issues at CB. I expect the portal to come into play after the spring here.Yea he definitely playing this year, maybe a small role like DJ Ivey played last year.
Couch has to RS at 150 lbs and we need 5 corners on game day.
He's undersized to be playing CB this fall unless he puts on 15lb this offseason. I'm not talking about when he graduates.Nigel Bethel is the prototype NFL CB. In no way shape of form is Nigel Bethel undersized for a CB.
How many cbs y’all suspect we are supposed to have in terms of depth? We have played the last 3 seasons withThis is my point exactly. We are one injury away from issues at CB. I expect the portal to come into play after the spring here.

Colbert was hurt for multiple games
2017
5 cbs
Bandy

Young
Delaney(he was hurt some games)
Dean sparingly
2018
Bandy
Jackson
Dean
Our 4th corner barely played much(but I believe ivey or blades played the most as the 4th corner).
2019
We will have
Bandy
Ivey
Blades
Williams
Bethel
Couch
Say all that to say this each of the last couple of years the injury/retiring(malek young) bug at some point hit the cb group in years where we had less overall numbers and we were fine right? Transfers can’t be the solution for everything(especially not grad transfers) because you need to build depth at somepoint. Otherwise you will be in the same starting place next year with again limited experience at the position because a grad transfer taking up a lot of minutes

I think the whole point is that Nigel Bethel is likely going to have a role this year, even if it's a small one.How many cbs y’all suspect we are supposed to have in terms of depth? We have played the last 3 seasons with
