The way the 2025 class fizzled out was incredibly frustrating. The two best DBs I'd seen in a minute coming out of HS were Stubbs at safety and Hanks at corner. Stubbs pulled a Jobe and we never had a chance with Hanks once Lagway stuck and the perception of UF/Napier started to improve.

But next year's top guys will have 3 second-years and a third-year, all of whom are proven high-level starters except Quan:
OJF 2nd year
ZP 2nd year
Lucas 2nd year
Poyser 3rd year (RS Sophomore)
Brantley 5th year

Adding in the 2025 class and other young guys Mack, Day and Thomas, this DB room "should" be stacked for the next few years. Gotta prove it on the field. But looks good on paper.

Don’t think Stubbs is that great? But I agree with everything else u said.

Not really. I think people would be surprised at how explosive football players are on the bball court. Generally speaking, a lot of them are. I remember playing at the wellness center with a bunch of ball players and they were dunking **** with ease. Still have visions of Howard Clark blocking my 3 pt shot as he was 10' away from me. lol

Don’t forget O’Connor has multiple years left. RS FR this past season.

Great job setting up the room for several seasons (on paper of course).

Good call. I wasn't being fair to Brown. There's no question he'll have a say in that lineup. As will Richard when he comes back healthy. I do think Brown has been overhyped relative to his contributions, so far. I don't think a starting role is a "given". We finally have real competition in that backfield!!

OJF 2nd year
ZP 2nd year
Lucas 2nd year
O'Connor 3rd year (RS Sophomore)
Poyser 3rd year (RS Sophomore)
Brown 3rd year (RS Sophomore)
Richard 4th year (RS Junior)
Brantley 5th year

That’s bc he missed almost the entire season but I agree
 
All i know is you go watch the first game against UF, and Demari was balling.

He blew up a jet sweep to Wilson they were trying to get to edge, and he looked like one of those UGA or Alabama CBs with length and physicality blowing up screens, outisde runs.

He then had multiple pass breakups on Badger down the field. He gave up one, but it was an absolute dime by Mertz that he had good coverage on.

Lets see how healthy he is in spring.

That was the first drive of the game on 3rd down and he missed the tackle lol Wes and a swarm had to finish it

He slowed it down I guess

Realistically, and I’m only speaking about the upcoming season not long term, are we better off with the cb talent we gotten out of the portal rather than had we kept the players from last year but added Pickett and banks? I’d say so.

Stubbs doesn’t play with any physicality and that won’t work at this level at safety.

Despite the amount of DBs we have missed over the years, there r a couple who have made the NFL, whether underrated or drafted, small stints, just started, or been in the league a few years. Stubbs ain’t none of those, could he become better than Jaden Harris, yes.
