Why would an unproven Ja’keem Jackson start over a 4th year all ACC corner?

Delane and Jackson will start at boundary with Stamps at nickel imo.
Pickett will rotate
Safety is a tossup but I tend to lean Toviano and a Transfer, preferably Cooley

Because we have zero quality starters at safety.

The point everyone is making is that it would be better to pull a starting safety from the portal and play Delane at corner rather than relying on Jackson and Pickett to jump in and contribute right away. If they don’t get a starting safety from the portal, that may be what they have to do, but it’s not preferable.

Pickett is a day 1 starter lock idk how some fans still don’t realize that lol. The no.1 cb in the country in the NIL era did not come here to sit on the bench he’s starting day 1. Corey Raymond hand picked him as his no.1 target for a reason.

Others on here have said that he was a slot corner at Syracuse and was out of element being used as a boundary corner at LSU.

With guys like Gilbert, Spears, Toviano, and Perkins all playing the safety position next season, I don't see the need for 2 starters.



Ideally Perkins will learn his assignments well enough to be a 3 down player. But Thomas and Jimcoily look like studs too.
