[rrlbees]

Hell yea!!

 

[gmoney44]

He’s a gamer. Great news.

 

[djorange1989]

Yes!

 

[Bulldog04]

He improved a lot this year. And he will receive better coaching this year. Smart move by him

 

[cali315phan]

Played through some injuries this year and is a total energy guy. Glad to have him back.

 

[GoSU96]

Cool

 

[tep624]

Awesome. Now just need Wax and OG official (all signs point to him being back but I’d rather an official announcement or source other than Tortora).

 

[money3189]

Nice bridge guy. I imagine he plays field LB

What is the position name for that? I was looking at UGA’s depth chart and stars and jacks etc kind of confusing lol

 

[Cuse1992]

Fav Dback since the days of DD and TJ

 

[UpstateSM]

Your turn, Marlowe..

Not sure what they call it but yeah I can see him in that role. Basically a safety that comes down and plays the over hang.

Hope he returns. He's said he's very close with his mom and grandma so I know they will make a great decision for him and his family, whatever that may be.

It’s like recruiting a 4-Star.

 

[CuseMan4]

So we have 2 6’4 stud safety’s next year. Noiceeee

 

[sdhall01]

This is as big of a win as we’ve seen in recruiting. It goes a long way to adding depth to our secondary.

Correct me if I’m wrong but don’t they basically use a DB that can slide to LB and a LB that can slide to DE?

Jack / Star / Money / Mac curious how those translate to our personnel

Yes its one of the fronts they may choose to do but ultimately Barron will be a safety/OLB hybrid. Allows them to stop the run and he is athletic enough to cover the pass ( like an inverted safety). He won’t be all over the field like he was in the 3-3-5 but it’s essentially the same concept.

Field safety. gonna be a 4-2-5. he will be like a 3rd backer but calleda safety

 

[MikeSU02]

All we’re doing is winning this offseason.

 

[Finwad32]

Getting our best players back is a good thing.
