Vigo is the first option at Corner and Safety. Nickel's kind of a specialized "rover" position in our defense. Maybe that explains it.
But,
I'd think Vigo would be really good there, with his background as an OLB in high school. It is kind of surprising they haven't worked him in there. I'm with you, syko. Although I think Sandersfeld is a nice player, I'd love to have more speed on the field.
What about Terrel Smith? With all the stuff I have been reading about him I thought he would havebeen in serious contention for play the nickel position.
Terrel won't be traveling or playing real soon.
He is good enough to play. But they're trying to redshirt him.
Now that Olatoye has moved to safety, we've already got 3 in that class (Orms, Ussery).
Honestly, I think that Ussery needs to move back to WR. But either way it would still be best if Smith could redshirt.
Here's how our scholarship guys break down this year:
Safety
Seniors:
Juniors: Anthony Perkins, Travis Sandersfeld
Sophomores: Vince Ewing, Ray Polk
Freshmen: Deji Olatoye, Parker Orms, Terdema Ussery
Redshirting (FR): Terrel Smith
Cornerback
Seniors: Jalil Brown, Jimmy Smith
Juniors: Jonathan Hawkins
Sophomores: Makiri Pugh
Freshmen: Jered Bell, Paul Vigo
Redshirting (FR): Josh Moten
Yes, ussery should move back to wr. Will darden ever play?
Darden had some snaps at WR against CSU
Terrel won't be traveling or playing real soon.
