Secondary is all dependent on injuries:
Possible Injuries:
-Deshazor Everett (Shoulder) - our most physical corner at the point of attack and against screens. 2nd best cover corner behind Devante Harris. Has started at Boundary Safety much of the year.
- BS - Steven Campbell (Lingering Concussion Symptoms) - Fastest player in the secondary, but struggled with missed tackles early in the year before being suspended vs. SMU. Has not returned since.
Probable Starters:
-CB - Dustin Harris - Senior who has struggled blowing coverage in the past but has been passable this season this far except against exceptional receivers.
-FS - Steven Terrell - Senior starter who is solid in coverage and has a few picks but struggles tackling larger players. Has improved play lately, though.
-BS - Toney Hurd Jr. - Very smart and physical safety who normally starts at Nickel. Made the game-saving pick at Ole Miss
-CB - Devante Harris or Otis Jacobs - Devante Harris is a physical freshman cover corner who only struggles with PI calls and an occasional missed tackle, while Otis Jacobs is a transfer who is big and physical, but can struggle with 1 on 1 when he lines up too far off of the ball.
-Dime - Floyd Raven - Probably our most physically talented player in the secondary, but struggles at corner due to tentative play and poor understanding of the defense at times. Lines up as an LB in the Dime and plays underneath zone most of the time, where he can cut loose and has help over the top.

Defensive Line:
-Rush DE - Damontre Moore - You know all about this guy. One of the premier pass rushers in the nation, but is also very solid in the run game, leading the team in tackles (17 vs. LA Tech) and leads the nation in TFL.
- DT - Spencer Nealy - Gritty, high-motor senior who volunteered to move inside after playing the 5-technique in the 3-4 last season. Will not quit and is tenacious, but is not the most physically talented guy. Looks and acts like Chris Farley and is a vocal leader on the team.
-NG - Kirby Ennis - solid, but not spectacular guy who unselfishly takes on double-teams and holds the line so that LBs and DEs can make plays.
-SDE - Julian Obioha - FR hailing from New Orleans Brother Martin HS - has been very solid setting the edge and maintaining contain on the outside. Nothing but upside for this guy.
Let me know if there are any players I left out (backups) that you would like to hear about.
