Secondary is the only area I see that needs a lot of work.

This popped in my head looking at this:
Perkins could play any position on defense full time besides interior d-line and be an All-SEC/All-American player.

DEFENSIVE LINE
1. Does J. Roy stay? If not, your starters are Maason Smith and Mekhi Wingo without question. If he stays, we may see Roy at NT, Mingo at DT, and Smith at "Heavy DE."
2. Who steps up to play the Jack? The backup Jacks this season included (1) Desmond Little--who had received high praise during Summer Camp, started against Southern, and then sort of faded away after that--(2) Savion Smith, who got a lot of reps at both Jack and DE, (3) Harold Perkins, who went back to Sam LB after a couple of games, and (4) Mike Jones, who was listed at Jack on the Official Depth Chart, but never played the position in a live game. Will Zavier Carter hang around? Does Quency Wiggins fit the bill? Or does at true freshman come in and wow the coaching staff?

LINEBACKERS
1. Gregg Penn could move to Mike, so that Harold Perkins could remain on the outside. He might be better at making the calls. But if he remains at Will, can he fend off DeMario Tolan?
2. Does Harold Perkins remain at Sam, or does he take over at either Mike or Sam? I don't expect him to move to Jack.

I think this is all correct but I think Perkins gets used as Mike, Will, Sam, and Jack. I think House will move him all over to try and keep the offense from being able to scheme around him and to use all of his skillset.
