Just like most of you I don’t necessarily like seeing the measurables of our 2 CB commits, especially when the scouting reports don’t mention blazing speed in the first paragraph. But, when is the last time you read scouting reports on Razorback CB commits with comments like these?
Lowery: He is a sure tackler and brings big-hit potential when opportunities present itself. He doesn't shy away from being physical with receivers and blockers to navigate to the football in a hurry.
Parker: “He has above-average short-area quickness to jar the ball loose and be physical defending wide receivers. He does not shy away from big hits and roaming the entire field to hit ball-carriers.”
I don’t put much stock into these scouting reports unless a kid has been to a ton of camps etc. However, I’d be lying if I told you I wasn’t at least a little excited about the idea of adding some CB’s who know how to make a tackle and want to play physical. Nothing pisses me off more when watching us play than the piss poor tackling effort and execution we’ve seen on defense from our secondary the last several seasons!
