Still don't understand why Jacoby Stevens isn't playing...

This guy undoubtedly has 5-star talent. Seems strange that 20 freshmen are playing, but he's not. The Redshirt has already been burned. Can he only play the same position that Delpit is playing (and very well)? Can he not play the other safety position? I don't get it.

That’s what happens when you play musical chairs with a kids position.

He’s preparing to play 5-tech....

Because stars don't mean anything.

You want to play him over Delpit?

It's ok. With the info available most fans don't understand. That's why there's coaches

could be because Battle, Monroe, and maybe even Harris are a head of him on the depth chart at this point in time. He is a true freshman so give it some time.

His fourth position of this season is leading towel waver on the sidelines.
I would think #5 might be kickoff guy after Gamble yet again can't get it outta the endzone

so you think a coach should play a player because of his high school success over a player that earned his spot by success in college?
I Stevens is as good as you say, we will play. the cream rises to the top (although it sometimes takes a year or two).

He's not complaining, why should you?
Posted on 10/22/17 at 8:47 am to TNTigerman
Bc we have absurd DB depth and talent. Tell me who you want to bench so he can play

Great talent and has not settled into a position due to the fact he has been moved around from defense then to offense and now back to defense.
Hope the kid stays with the program, he will be a valuable Tiger soon

What about his hs highlights jumps out to you?
Posted on 10/22/17 at 9:09 am to TNTigerman
John Battle
Grant Delpit
Eric Monroe
Jacoby Stevens
Before Battle went down vs AU, Monroe wasn’t seeing the field as it was. He’s gotten more PT as they’ve rotated with Battle coming back. But Stevens just got back to the S position a few weeks ago. He’s 4th on the Deptch Chart. There are-literally-two former 5-Star HS S ahead of him. He’s 18.
Try a little patience, Baw.

I leave it to Corey Raymond and Dave to decide who gets on the field. Stevens is still learning the safety spot. He only only played it one year in HS.
Posted on 10/22/17 at 10:55 am to TNTigerman
Same reason other freshmen are ahead of Deculus. They were beaten out.

What don't you get? He's not the best option at safety. What makes you think he is? His 2 plays on defense this year? His 3 special teams tackles?
Do you not think Dave Aranda wants the best players to play? I'm gonna go ahead and trust his evaluation more than the Tiger Rant's.

He should probably transfer to SMU.
Posted on 10/23/17 at 3:25 pm to TNTigerman
because he's too slow to play in the slot or at safety and doesn't have good enough hands to play out wide I actually think he'd be a decent linebacker
