Probably Williams as well but not quite as sure as the other three. That would be awesome news Mavric! Our D was definitely the strength of the team last year (though still not dominant), and it would be great to have some experienced players back to help us return to Blackshirt defense we used to be accustomed to. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yes! My wish list is becoming a reality! Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This is also huge. If Stille, Honas and Dismuke also return which seems likely then I will feel much better about us defensively heading into next season. Wish I could say that about the other side of the ball however... Those problems run deeper than the guys who will be out there. Quote Link to comment
HANC Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Ummmmm !!! Wow. I didn't expect this one. According to teammates and coaches, many feel as if he is the best DB we have. He was coming off a serious injury and didn't have the preseason. I don't believe that we saw the best version of DW. This could be great !! 2 Quote Link to comment
CAHusker Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Love this! I enjoyed watching this guy play, I know he made some mistakes this year, but he is a great player. I remember those hits against OSU, he should have never been called for targeting in that game btw. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Seems like the defense has a good culture. 1 Quote Link to comment

Let me add to that O is "give me the damn ball", but only to showcase how my skill will translate to the NFL and dont let me get hit to many times. 1 Quote Link to comment

Surprised Williams is coming back when he'll be 25 in October but pleased about his return. Quote Link to comment

If I'm 25 and had the choice of one more year of college or 'today's' real world I know what I'd be doing. 3 2 Quote Link to comment

Surprised Williams is coming back when he'll be 25 in October but pleased about his return. I was surprised that Williams is coming back, as well. But, given this past season was the first season as a full-time player, he may have needed some more game film for scouts to review. 1 Quote Link to comment
Toe Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 This year is probably a bumper crop for the NFL, due to more guys opting out. There's only so many spots in the draft, so more guys are hearing 'stay in school' from the scouts. Quote Link to comment

Maybe there's still some room for growth. Quote Link to comment

Maybe there's still some room for growth. Agreed that he improved last year. Though I believe he is at or near his ceiling as a player already and I would prefer he moves on and Farmer, Clark or NPG get the time in back there. Farmer alone had two more interceptions in one half last season than Dismuke has had in his career. Really going to be interesting to see how the squeeze goes in the secondary. Quote Link to comment
