I’d guess it’s Zaquan and Poyser at safety, Damari at Nickel, OJ/Brantley/Lucas at CB.

Still need another safety that can spell them and a Nickel to spell or compete with Damari. Cross training probably has Damari/Lucas able to play Safety as well. Dylan Day in the 2nd string and if Markeith sticks around.. that’s your DB room right there.

Plenty of snaps to go around to your top 3 boundary corners. Brantley has never finished a season healthy in college.

Don't forget about Ryan Mack and Dylan Day. Mack would have gotten snaps this season if he wasn't hurt. Day flashed when he got snaps

Was going to say the same thing.

But he’s exposed now and it’s on tape. It might be too easy to target him.

Maybe you can get him by in a drive or 2 a game. Give him clear assignments and coach him on the sideline before he goes in so he knows exactly what is going on. Also he is good on STs.

He tackled like a blind man. #NoThanks

Is this guy being brought in to play nickel? Hopefully so and let the Wisc kid n Frédérique own the outside spots. That would be a TIGHT secondary!!

I had Day in there. I think he’s a rotational safety/nickel.

I liked Mack out of HS but TBD on his injury and how he’s developed. Seems like he missed a full year of development

Our failure to recruit over guys like him has always been the issue

Seems like we are trending better this year but like you said we got work to do

When my **** Cowboys took him and and the DE with back to back picks I was over the moon. Then we proceeded to not do **** with them and they didn’t even make it out of camp.

Dmoney mentioned him several times in practice reports and was on track to contributing. Hopefully he's 100% for winter workouts and spring ball

And Ivey. Much like there must always be a scapegoat inside Hecht, there must also be one on staff and one on the roster.

It will be insanely unpopular but this is also where Jaden Harris was perfectly fine in 2023

He’s clearly not a starter but he was fine as a role player

Nah bro I can’t take another season seeing 7 in the secondary even as a role player. I need his replacement asap.

Good luck with this staff finding replacements

I’ll be announcing after the Miami visit,” he said. “I visited Ole Miss and UCF, they were nice, and just went to Illinois. And my top two is Illinois and Miami.”

He says the task for UM’s coaches this weekend are to make him comfortable with this being a talented overall defense. He doesn’t want to be part of a group that doesn’t succeed overall.

“I don’t want it to be just me (making plays),” Brantley said.

I'm also curious about Isiah Thomas at S if he can bring us anything in a backup role

Just roll with him and Day as 2nd string and get Harris the **** out of here.

True but if he’s only coming in for spells and not 80% plus plays it’s harder to scheme to attack a backup player
