After this year we are going to be in a little bit of a situation. After Highsmith and Rodgers leave....thank goodness, We are only going to have only 3 safeties. I believe Burns is going to stay at Corner, and leaving Carter to back up both Bush/Jenkins. We gotta get in a safety or 2 this season's recruiting class. Anyone know if Lockley will be a TE or come back to play safety?

Lockley will start at safety. It's not an issue at the moment and we will likely grab 1 or 2 this off-season. Losing Highsmith and Rodgers will have little to no effect on depth IMO. Replace them with 2 2014 Recruits. Actually losing them and picking up 2 freshman might be an upgrade for 2014.

He might have too, even if he does the safety depth doesn't change much.

I think you are right about that. I will add him.

Beats me. Have to see him live. He just has a very large frame. It'd be unusual. ****, I originally thought he'd grow into an OLB/DE.

I like him on offense, too. Here are some Hudl highlights from a 7-on-7 where he's going against top Virginia competition:

He looks most comfortable on offense.

IMO, until someone proves they can dethrone 2 and 26... Our safety's will be just that. Depth.
As far as this year goes, I would say we are not only deep at safety but talented. When your 2 backups are seniors it could prove to pay dividends.
For the life of me though, and I know we have some ballers, but the freshmen Carter is the most talented of this group based on high school production, tape, athletisicim, and measurables. Will be TOUGH to RS that kid.

We have Howard and Gunter starting at corner with A. Crawford, hope and Dortch being back ups. Why not have Burns start out at Saftey? Bush and Jenkins start, backed up by colorblind Rogers and Slowsmith. Have Carter, Burns, and Lockley fight it out and if need be.. move Burns to CB. I feel like Burns is "simair" to Bush- they can play both positions, both run hit and cover.

After watching the hudl vid agree Lockley's size/speed combination makes him a player you would want on Offense.

Lockley looked best to me as a RB. Let dude grow into Brandon Jacobs lite.
but then again I thought Figueroa looked most dominant at WR in his high school footage.
