So best I can tell we have added 3 safeties - Maddox, Branch and Harris (all 3 have started at their respective schools before transferring here)
We have 3 safeties / star returning that will no doubt be in the mix - Bolden, Aguero and Thomas
Corners - Everette, Harris, Robinson and Evans
Cleary Bolden and Everett will start, figure the 3 other slots are open.
My take on UGA guys:
Harris - fairly good in man to man coverage, awful in run support
Robinson and Evans - both highly rated but really no idea on their abilities
Aguero - solid in run support and blitzing at the star, not real good in coverage
Thomas - surprisingly thought he was fairly solid in limited play in coverage, not sure about run support
Bolden - developing into one of the better safeties we have seen. Solid tackling at EOY and can get better in coverage
Everrett - gets better every year, would think the should be one of the better DB;s in conference, not flashy but steady. Would like to see him get the slot on 3rd down and play Harris and Robinson at corner.
Seems to be enough talent to move the needle on production from the back end of our defense. We need the safeties and corners to be better in run support in 2024 and we need the 3rd down guy covering the slot to be able to make some plays. (Our all American safety (who I really like) was very average on 3rd down covering the slot. )
I am cautiously optimistic that production from this group in 2025 to be better than 2024. We shall see..............
