We’re losing Haulcy (my favorite player this season) and Delane without a doubt.

Maybe lose Perk.
Maybe keep Weeks.

Are Payton and Gooden out of eligibility as well?

Who else do we definitely lose from this years defensive unit?

Time to earn that raise Baker!

Maybe? Isn't he out of eligibility?

My biggest memory of Pyburn will be him almost sacking Diego Pavia 10 different times

he was great when healthy

Glad when Perk is gone overhyped and just not very good

Weeks will be back

Seems to have been there forever. Does he have eligibility left?

Haulcy was out of position a few times but he was always hustling and wasn’t afraid of contact. He will do well in the NFL I think. We’re not losing much with Pyburn and Perk was not playing well tell the last few games it was like he was trying to put some good film down.

Yeah I have no idea how Haulcy actually grades as an NFL safety but I absolutely loved watching him break on the ball and come down with some bad intentions and hit people.

Felt like he “baited” several throws this year as well.

Guess I just like physical safety play.

Yeah we haven’t had it in a few yrs. Was fun to watch DBU back. Pickens is going to be exceptional I think.

Whit Weeks, Perkins, and Cooley will all have decisions to make regarding the draft. I hope we keep Whit and Cooley.

Pyburn, Payton, Guillory, Gooden, Haulcey, Delane, West Weeks, and Butler will be leaving.

Haulcy best safety we've had since Delpit. Or am I forgetting somebody?

No Tank is out of eligibility unfortunately because he would have been a great vet for the big name recruits on the DL we just signed. Now Dom McKinley is the vet. Pyburn was so underrated. He caused a lot of havoc for our defense last year always giving 110%.

Word is McKinley hitting the portal to join his brother. Otherwise Ohio State doesn't take the kid.
