re: next years defense really concerns me

Yes, and Martin is a solid player. He reminds me of Brandon Taylor, honestly. A bit undersized for a safety, a bit oversized for a corner.

He struggled a bit in coverage this year, but also made some great plays on the ball.

IDK there may be an opportunity for a truly elite athlete (like Reid) to rotate in (like Reid did in 2010).

Jeremy Cutrer is a stud. An absolutely gifted athlete. He's got a great vertical leap and a really long reach. However, at 6'3" 175, he may need to add 15-20 lbs to be a starter in the SEC. That said, 17-18 year old kids do tend to add weight quickly once they get on the team's weight training and diet plan. We'll see.

Corey Thompson, at the other safety spot, is very promising. He has the tools to be everything Loston should have been.
