The skill sets for the five defensive back positions are slightly different.  Boundary corner/Field corner, strong safety/Free safety and Star.

Coach Schaefer handles the safeties.  Coach Fran is the lead for the corners. Coach Coyle is responsible for the Star position.  All have at least one quality control or analyst assisting them.

I understand Jalil Martin and Ibn McDaniels have been splitting time getting first and second team reps at Star.  Corners Delaine and Kerr 1 have been  cross training and splitting the third team reps during the summer.  Possible to get better coverage guys on the field in dime and dollar packages.

I’ve been told the safeties often work both strong and free but don’t usually get any reps at Star.

Side note: Zach Van Arsdale who has been a student manager the past theee years (Head Manager in 2024) is now in a quality control position with the offense.  I believe he spent the last couple of years working with the QB coach.

Congrats Zach!
