Sounds like It will be Peters and Kelly at corner, but safety is less certain. I've heard King, Walker, and Beaver all listed as potential starters, and you can't rule out Budda. Sounds like he's the nickel right now tho.
This is the one position group that i actually thought was coached the best by previous staff, and my biggest concern with the season set to begin Sept 27th.
Been to both practices, the first one was the one where it was more game like. I came away impressed by the secondary. Obviously we know Marcus Peters is a stud, but I think Jermaine Kelly is the next NFL corner for UW. Brandon Beaver really looks like he is going to be a starter.
But what really impressed me was the true freshmen db's. I thought that Naijiel Hale might have just been rated high because he is Nate Dogg's son, but nope.... he can play football. He is very physical, I think he has a great future at UW. Budda is Budda, he is a playmaker. And then throw in guys like Sidney Jones, Jojo McIntosh, Darren Gardenhire... that is going to be a really good secondary going forward. Really excited about their future.

The Huskies are holding a scrimmage tomorrow that's open to the public. It's the last day of fall camp, meaning the coaches are probably figuring out who will play and who will redshirt this year.
You'll probably get more solid answers after the scrimmage is over, but what was said in this thread has been quite accurate. Right now, it's:
1st string(fellow): CB: Peters CB: Kelly S: Beaver S: Walker
2nd string: CB: Dixon CB: Hale S: King S: Baker
3rd string: CB: Jones CB: Gardenhire S: McIntosh S: Clay

Yup, that is what they've been running with. Budda is the nickel right now too. Also, I expect King to take over for Walker at some point.
