>> Nate Gerry is entrenched as one safety starter while Aaron Williams and Kieron Williams battle for the spot next to Gerry, Banker said. Antonio Reed is backing up Gerry. Avery Anderson is behind both of the Williams, while Reid Karel is behind Gerry and Reed. Banker likes true freshmen Tony Butler and JoJo Domann quite a bit.
>> Aaron Williams is the No. 1 guy at nickel corner, too. Williams said he splits his time "50/50" between the two positions. Banker said No. 1 Joshua Kalu "desperately" wants to play nickel, too, but Banker said he'd have to find a No. 3 corner he was confident enough with to make the decision. Lamar Jackson is getting a look at nickel corner, too, according to Brian Stewart.
— Stewart said that freshmen Lamar Jackson, Dicaprio Bootle and Marquel Dismuke have all been impressive early on. He noted that Jackson and Bootle have been quick to pick things up so far this fall.
— Banker said freshmen safeties Tony Butler and JoJo Domann have both been impressive players thus far. “Tony Butler, he’s a good looking dude,” Banker said. “JoJo Domann is one of those guys in the NFL who guys will always try to beat out, but you’ll never take them off the field. He’s got really good football intellect and instincts. He has good ball skills.”
He just got owned in that clipI guess Carlos is looking pretty good.
