Predict our starting Safeties next season

I think we should give that little dude who grabs the tee on kickoffs a shot.

I almost started this same thread this morning.

One guy you forgot to mention is Jabriel Washington. I expect him to have a niche role in the secondary. Probably as a deep safety. He played some qb in HS so maybe he can help with play calls when he is on the field.

I like hootie Jones to be a starter. His size and coverage skills are ideal. Reminds me of kam chancellor.

At the other safety spot I would like to see Eddie Jackson move to safety. I think it gives us experience and versatility. Also would free up some of the log jam at CB. Eddie plays the ball very well when it's in front of him but he will need to work on being a better tackler.

Personally, I'd like to see Eddie Jackson and Hootie Jones at Safety.

I think we'll see Geno and Hootie though.


Jabriel Washington may end up with a role, which I'm not too pleased about, but whatever. Saban knows more than I do.

Hootie Jones and Geno Smith.

Eddie Jackson takes hootie's spot when hootie moves to money.

Thompson has a shot being an EE but I doubt it. He will probably beat Jabriel Washington out for deep safety in dime

Hopefully Geno and Eddie starting with Hootie, Mo, and one of the young guys in the rotation. I think Eddie draft status and the team would benefit if Nick moves him to safety. Eddie's frame and leaping ability with Geno's coverage skills would allow us to run a ridiculous amount of stunts with our front seven, it's scary.

What about these 2 highly rated recruits, assuming they sign and make in school, Fitzpatrick and Sheffield coming in as true freshman.

Seems like the safety spot is wide open, a lot of young inexperienced talent with very few upper class guys.

Which guys are the higher rated guys? I know stars aren't everything but it will give me an idea of perceived talent.

Thanks and sorry I can't add much substance as I don't follow recruiting ad closely as a lot of you guys, which means that I don't know which up and coming guys I should really be excited about.
