There's no way Upton Stout doesn't start if he's healthy.    Dude was a lone bright spot on defense for much of the year.

Well Brett has 3 LB's rather than 5 DB's that we'll most likely see. I'd imagine he's the starting slot guy if anything.

Stout played on the outside for us, not Nickel.   And he was definitely the only guy who could consistently cover receivers in Man.  Not Whitlock, Not Gaddie, not Cam Johnson....  Stout.   No way he doesn't start, unless he's not healthy.

Maybe Littrell/Bennett wants more length at CB? I agree he was out best cover guy, but he is small, even compared to a Kemon Hall or Eric Jenkins, two of our recent better sub 6' CB's

Upton reminds me a lot of Kemon.     And he was only a Freshman.

If Thornton and Davis come in and win both of the starting CB spots, that's one thing.   If the coaches decide on Whitlock and/or Gaddie because of Stout's size, they need to come under heavy scrutiny and I would not be surprised to see Stout hit the portal quickly (as he should).

Stout also knows how to hit!

Great.  I want a CB that can cover and look back for the ball.  Hit is a distant third.

Not sure that Defensive depth chart is accurate based on PB's new scheme and the spring game reps. 

PB likes playing 2 LB's and a hybrid DE instead of 3 LB's. If you look back at Baylor games and even Arizona State, expect a lot of multiple fronts and packages. The DB's will also be adjusted to fit the team they are playing. Should be exciting.

I believe (hope) this is something we will see with PB. He will have his base formation(s), but he will adjust based on the opponent and be more willing to make in-game adjustments. I think his willingness to move things around will also help to make it a little harder for other teams to game plan.

I missed the 5 things that are likely to be done to improve the defense.  I might add that PB will use multiple formations and the same player might not excel in all formations so that the starter and the backup could switch positions against different opponents.

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
