Young kids really respect Cam's game. DBs want to play with other elite level players.

They sure do...on both points. Can't wait to see our defensive backfield in a year or two...

Glad to see he looked at how Cam approached it. I actually hope everyone look at how Cam and North took care of business and push themselves this off-season.

 

[VolsnCards5]

So he's definitely an EE?

Yep.

D'Andre Payne has shown good early athleticism; it will be interesting to see if he can potentially be a factor at perhaps nickleback.

He'll find his way onto the field somewhere...kid's a natural playmaker. If not outside, definitely in the nickel. Looking forward to watching him ball out

 

[volfrk86]

He would be an outstanding nickel. If that happens Gaulden should get some serious look at corner his
speed alone would be an upgrade

didnt he miss a game or two because he changed schools and had to wait?

 

[BonesVol]

A lot of great recruits in this class but this kid is my favorite. He just seems hungry and he has never wavered.

Pretty sure I remember that being the case...

 

[volfrk86]

I think Payne and Sutton lock it down at corner for us next year

 

[The Breakerboy]

Hope this kid, Rihayd Jones, or Foreman can win the job opposite Sutton in the spring.

 

[423Volfan]

My prediction is that he will not be a nickle corner for us next year. instead I think he's going to be too talented to not start opposite Sutton. Logically, one would think his best position would be at nickle because of his size but frankly I think he is just too good to not start on the outside.

Between Moseley Payne Gaulden Jones and Foreman, surely someone can bump Coleman to Nickel or maybe off the field entirely.

Sutton and Payne will be our starting corners with Coleman at nickel by the end of the year.

Jones and Foreman will be solid back ups and Gaulden will push Coleman for the starting nickel spot.

Will be interesting to see where Evan Berry factors in.

I wouldn't count out Jones or Foreman just yet to take the spot opposite Sutton. Foreman has excellent speed, and physically Jones looks the part of an SEC corner. His leg is what kept him off the field.

I'm still really excited to see Payne.
