Size isn't near EM's problem. Kid was fine tackling this year(except vs Florida). His hips/transition speed is slow and he doesn't locate passes well that are over his head.

The ball skills should improve with a little more wk and experience.But the slow hip turn bothers me also bb.Hard to correct what's not natural.

He's not near as quick as he is fast. He loses a lot of speed when he was to turn and run. He flys coming forward but not so much when he has to turn and run with a WR.

Do you think he would look better at Safety? I was disappointed in Mosely this year. He really struggled on deep routes, and you're absolutely right on the hips/transition speed. You could see it in the first game where those big WRs for Bowling Green frankly just blew past him.

Even if he was better suited for safety, I doubt he's better there than our other guys.

I do have a feeling he's play better with everything in front of him than he does playing on the outside, but unless he takes a big step forward over the offseason (which is possible I guess), it's looking like Moseley could be a depth guy for the remainder of his career if Osborne is as good as we think he is, Abernathy continues to develop, and Gaulden stays healthy.

Looks like another Mack Alexander. Everyone is seeing why I was going crazy over him now. Boy has been the best cover CB two years running now. Osbourne looks very good in the videos.

Per Rivals
It’s not only a business trip to prove a point, but also one of preparation. Osborne will be going against many of the players he’s playing against this week on Saturday’s over the next four years beginning next fall.

“It’s definitely preparation and to see where I’m at,” Osborne explained. “Everybody gets to see where they are at against the top players in the country. These are the players you’re going to be playing against in the SEC and some are going to the ACC or different conferences, but these are the best in the class.”“It’s just a stress reliever just knowing where I’m going,” Osborne said. “A lot of people don’t know where they are going yet and I’m glad it’s over with and I’m ready to get to Tennessee.”“I was talking to them a long time ago and they talked to me about playing nickel. I’m probably going to start there,” Osborne said. “But, I’m looking forward to playing wherever. As long as they put me on the field I’ll play whatever.”

CB Marquill Osborne with great coverage on a deep ball to WR Sam Bruce

Here we have Tennessee cornerback commit Marquill Osborne, in the first practice of 2015 Under Armour Week from Orlando, smothering Sam Bruce, a Miami (FL) pledge who ranks as the No. 6 wide receiver in the 2016 class according to the 247Sports Composite.

Osborne, who committed to the Volunteers in September of 2014, is the No. 14 corner in the nation out of William Amos Hough High in Cornelius, North Carolina.

Don't forget Griffin, he will be in the mix at Safety

Maybe it's because he was a 3* out of HS but imo Griffin is quite underrated around here. It would be quite a battle between TKjr, Griffin, Jennings, and Warrior for safety if that scenario plays out.
