Just to play devils advocate here in a slightly biased manner for obvious reasons.... If that’s at playing nickel and defending slot receivers....is that really that terrible? Did he give up a shit ton of yards/tds?
If those receptions totaled 200 yards it would be an awesome result although that's likely not the case
It still sucks to lose him but if he's coming to Miami to start at corner immediately I'd be a little cautious. I'm not saying he can't and or won't develop into a good one. He will be physical and get his hands on WR's, but turning and running is where he gets caught up. I'd like to know how many PI's he's gotten this year. Someone mentioned him getting down to 190 and while that's a great idea, is that possible?
Nah we definitely wanted him to stay. We don't have any corners that have experience. If DJ Daniel wasn't a moron and failed out, he comes back and I am much more ok with losing Stevenson. This group starting off against Clemson in '21
Apparently he and the WR are just waiting on our admissions to clear them and then they're coming to Columbia They will be great Auburn Tigers
Ya a lot and he was pretty good too. If he was able to come back and start next year he prob gets drafted.
Probably a transfer We’ve got some guys coming in ‘21 class that need to be ready and Jalen Kimber from 20 class.
When he arrived to practice at Auburn, Newkirk described the journey to AL.com as “long, very long.” But Newkirk’s journey to the field was no easier just because he was at Auburn. Before his first spring practice arrived, he tore his Achilles tendon. Although he came back to play eight games in the fall, he wasn’t at his best. The next spring, Newkirk tore his other Achilles. This time, he made it back for 12 games and even started one game, but Cramer could tell that his injury was holding him back. The fear of reinjury lingered in his movements.
The journey started when Cramer called the Auburn coaches, telling them he had a player they needed to see. Within five minutes of watching Newkirk work out at a camp, head coach Gus Malzahn, former defensive coordinator Will Muschamp and defensive line coach Rodney Garner were in agreement. They were ready to offer him.
I love Juco kids that make it. Obviously rooting for him because I'm a UF fan, but just in general, hope he gets a fully healthy season.
