I don't remember him struggling, but I don't remember him as a major difference maker either, which probably means he was solid for a CB. I think we have some players that can step up like Stapp, Fleming, and Pless, they have plenty of seasoning, and Watson flashed as a promising young player as well.
Zero chance that is his reasoning. Our secondary helped developed AWJr. into a bonafide stud, and took St-Juste from a medical retirement to a 3rd rounder. Terrell Smith is about to get drafted after a great senior year and all star game. Howden went from a walk on to a guy that is going to get a chance at an NFL camp somewhere (at a minimum), and Walley will be in the NFL in the next 2 years.
PJ doesn't seem like the type to wait patiently while players test the waters.
This is certainly possible.
Nor is the school required to honor his scholarship.
Especially with Dixon and Bishop. These are two important players/starters.
Guys have to transfer to make the roster numbers work....DB is a position where we have some solid depth (14 on the roster even after the transfers out).
Walley and Nubin are locks to start. Henderson was brought in as a transfer and likely to start. Bryson and Green looked great in the bowl game. Stapp is still here and there are a number of young DBs that are hitting the point where they can be expected to start making an impact.
Bishop was immediately removed from the roster. I think that’s a good indication he’s not coming back.
Ortiz and Dixon I think were just about being starters or getting on the field more.
Yeah, safety looks pretty hard to get playing time.
Sure seems unrelated to me. Dixon apparently wanted to play a more traditional every down safety role. Ortiz and Glaze I think it’s safe to say just wanted to play, and neither appeared to be on the fast track for heavy reps. Bishop is still a mystery. It’s not like they all left after Haynes left, and it’s not like four players is a massive amount of DBs considering our roster.
Along the lines of cultural mis-match, I would imagine it is also possible he was dismissed from the team for unknown reasons. Wouldn’t be my first guess in this case, but I think it’s reasonable to imagine sometimes kids are told to either enter the portal or be publicly dismissed.
The staff is also likely to run more and more sets where the nickel is a S (we saw with Dixon last year) but this year with the transfer and Green. I think Green might end up playing more traditional S (and I think he'll be very good).
I could see them wanting Bryson on the field a lot too. Tough to say who ends up at nickel, but I imagine it’s one of the safeties. Stapp might be in the mix there too if he doesn’t win the other cb role.
Fleck spoke highly about Bryson all year and he looked the part in the bowl game for sure. Don't see how he isn't in the mix next season for a significant amount of playing time. Some very nice depth on the Safety side of things, will be interesting to see how it all shakes out.
This is so true!!!! I once got crabs from a toilet seat.
Also possible, tractor + bathing suit.
The visuals are mindbending.
