Sophomore CB
Johnson has seen every single rep playing field corner with the first-team defense and has fared very well. He's accounted for a number of pass knock-downs and interceptions and looks to be the starter, or at least the guy to beat out come fall. Johnson's emergence certainly isn't a surprise as he logged quality playing time last season. He went down with an injury on Tuesday, but should be fine and is the best bet to start at field corner this coming season.

Nearly all are on defense? Makes since, since we don't have a quarterback we don't need a lot of offensive players.
That picture of Pikula is actually a picture of Quezada. FYI.
I'm looking forward to seeing these guys develop further and contribute on the field. Nice to hear that Ty Beck is healthy so far this year. Hope he can stay that way.
