Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
CB Muhammad (starter)
FS Turner, Asa JR (grandfather of the group)
SS Hampton, Dominique RS JR (why not)
CB Caleb Presley/Curley Reed (both are better than current)
Muhammad is the Big 12’s third-highest-graded and fourth-most valuable cornerback over the last two seasons, according to PFF's wins above average metric.
His 19 coverage stops in that span ranks second for Big 12 cornerbacks. \Muhammad will play for Washington next season

Husky Hampton
Powell becomes the third or fifth best corner on the team with the new additions. He’s smart, a solid tackler and okay in coverage. He’s 6’1” 205lbs. Get him up to 210 and let him roam. I’m pretty sure the Husky position isn’t supposed to be in coverage as much as it was last year. With improved corner play you could keep Hampton matched on TEs and around the box on running plays. Thats a good thing for the depth and speed concerns at LB. this defense has more pieces than last year. Be creative with where they can help best. Get the scoring down from 26-20 and you’d be in a great position to win the Pac.
Undoubtedly a more talented room than 12 months ago, just a matter of how raw some of the talent is. Plenty of others on here know more about DB play and scouting than I do, but I’ll be surprised if Presley is ready to play year 1, let alone early. If one of the freshman DBs contributes meaningfully it’d be huge though, would be great by me if it is Presley or Reed.
Lock up the corners with Muhammad and the best incoming true freshman let ASA roam the back field and let Hampton play close to the line of scrimmage
Gets absolutely clowned on in the run game
He's a human highlight reel.
