Fall Fantasy Question

Defensive Secondary. There’s going to be an infusion of freshmen this summer who could challenge for playing time. Greg Reid from Georgia is a big-time player. The staff is also expecting more from Terrance Parks, who was banged up this spring and didn’t get a chance to compete much at rover/safety. Either way, there is a complete lack of experience in this secondary which will look to Patrick Robinson for leadership.
