Secondary is going to be Nasty

The future of this secondary has elite written all over it. If this staff retains players like they did this past offseason 2027 could be just as impressive as this season will be.

Safety / Nickel
4th YR - Omar Thornton - 3star
4th YR - Dylan Day 6-2 195 - 3star
4th YR - Ryan Mack 5-11 185 - 4star
3rd YR - Bryce Fitzgerald 6-1 195 - 4star
3rd YR - Chris Ewald Jr. 6-1 185 - 4star
2nd YR - JJ Dunnigan 6-3 215 - 4star
2nd YR - Camdin Portis 5-11 190 - 4star
2nd YR - Cortez Redding 5-11 190 - 4star
1st YR - Andre Hyppolite 6-1 190 - 4star
1st YR - Jaylyn Jones 5-11 190 - 4star

Corner
5th YR - Ethan O'Connor 6-1 195 - 3star
5th YR - Damari Brown 6-2 200 - 4star

2nd YR - Jaelen Waters 6-1 190 - 4star

1st YR - Donte Wright 6-1 180 - 5star
1st YR - A'mir Sears 6-1 185 - 5star (I believe his money position is deep safety)

JJ has earned the starting boundary safety spot. When X returns I can see Fitz taking over deep safety for Poyser and Poyser moving to nickel. Fitz and JJ will make a very dangerous safety tandem as the season goes on.


Yup, Thornton needs to NOT be in unless he’s blitzing! He’s great at that, it’s undeniable, but even when he gets there he whiffs. However, it hurries opposing QBs and a lot of times gives other guys 1v1 opportunities.

Gourdine is a nickel
Portis is a nickel
Ewald is a cb
Mack is a cb
Every body is cross trained though!
 
If Fitzgerald, Oconner, Poyser, and Lucas can all just stay on the field I think we'd be good.
1000%

CB1 X
CB2 EOC
Nickel JJ
S BF
S ZP

This is honestly a very good d back group all on the field together. I think we will see this vs Pitt. It was Lucas first game from injury and he was very rusty. It was Fitzs first game playing safety again and he was very rusty. ZP was out all game. We had to bring more players in. etc.
