Safety is a position I don't really feel that great about heading in to 2014.

Maye didn't start again for the rest of the season after his blown assignment in the Miami game. He is the 2nd most experienced safety behind Jabari Gorman.

Gorman himself is solid, but not spectacular.

Neal and Harris have never really played the position, although Neal has played a lot of special teams.

I have high hopes, personally, for Nick Washington, but his wasn't a name we heard much in the spring.

They are talented, but that's about all we know.

There is a reason Cody Riggs and Jaylen Watkins played so much safety last year. No one outside of Gorman was really ready.

Gorman has been the most consistent in camp, but even he was up and down. The fact that the coaches have talked about potentially having Brian Poole play some safety should be slightly concerning to all of us.

Hopefully a few people will emerge and really own those positions after Fall camp, because with all the youth at Corner, UF is really going to want to have consistency on the back end. I'm hoping Gorman can have a solid senior season, and that Maye can take the next step.
