Are they allowed to buy stock per NCAA rules? Or can they buy it but just not trade jerseys for it?

CW, Great article!

What has changed through camp to make you certain Benton is NFL material? I know his size and his physical presence coming from Nickel situations helps, anything else more specifically, scheme or otherwise that makes you think that?

IMO, Benton has decent size and athleticism. Plus Benton has played every position in the secondary. This makes Benton a pretty good commodity as far as NFL teams are concerned. He can play the nickel. He could sub at any of the defensive backfield positions. Plus he could play on ST's as well. It definitely increases his value.

George started camp as a co-starter. That lasted about four days. His stock isn't down. But I'm not sure I can list is as being up either.


Completely agree. This isn't article about guys who just had a good camp but guys who really took hold of their positions or their futures.

George had the chance to be the starter but wasn't able at this time to keep the spot.

Mainly, that opinion comes from conversations that I've had, including one with Ter'Ran himself. He feels like SS is his natural spot and the staff believes he has a chance to play a the next level.

Thanks. His versatility is definitely going to make him valuable. Plus being in the Paul Rhoads vacation video from House of Trivia doesn't hurt!
