Mclaurin...
79 tackles 3.5 tfl 1.5 sacks 6 int 1 forced fumble
Abram...
71 tackles. 5.0 tfl 2.0 sacks 2 forced fumbles
Bryant...
32 tackles 0.5 tfl 1 int
Will landrews and Cole be at safety?
I really think this group could shine next season with shoop coaching them.
Pretty stark difference in production between Abram and Bryant, and not in the direction you'd expect with Bryant being the "starter." He improved significantly over last year, but it appears he has a lot of room to continue. Hopefully Shoop can help him take the next step.
Cole's going to get a hard look at CB this Spring I believe
Bryant played very little during the bowl game. I'd move him to corner. I don't know if he's fluid enough. He's stiff
yep but he does have the speed. Worth a look for a couple of daysQuote:

Correct .. unless Shoop has different plans than English and GranthamQuote:

Dont think he has the instincts and toughness to play LB. Hes in a tough spot
With Bryant's speed, he is a prototype for free safety. Hopefully he takes another big step up and plays to his potential.Quote:

Bryant has digressed every year.... he will be a combine star until they start watching tape during evals.....
AbsolutelyQuote:

Tyler Williams is the DB from Lafayette County who redshirted this year. I don't have inside info on his progress or upside, maybe someone else can help.Quote:

AGAINST BAMA, OLE MISS AND UL Brandon Bryant had combined 1 unassisted tackle and 1 assisted tackle... in 2017 he averaged 1 unassisted tackle per game....
Like I said, he has digressed every year....
Bryant is a mystery player. You get 95 percent from him, or 60. I think he can go like hell in a straight line.
What in the world were you watching. He was way better this year. 16 he was beyond bad.Quote:

Perhaps on the wrong side of the ball, would have been quite the long ball threat and jump ball target near the goal line. At the very least deserves a look at returning KO’s.
I'm not sure you understand what "digressed" means.

His only stat of game was getting a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty on a KO for Touchback
I think our offense will have shorter (time of possession) drives this upcoming season so the frequency that our defense is on the field will increase. Less time to rest on the sidelines. Luckily our defensive depth will assist in this.
