Previewing the Gopher Cornerbacks: Upgrade or Downgrade?
With spring football right around the corner, it is time to preview the Gopher football team.
The secondary was a weakness for the Gophers in 2022, so how do they look heading into 2023?
The Gophers lost their top two cornerbacks from last season, so there are some question marks heading into 2023.
However, the Gophers have added some talented players to the secondary this offseason, so there is reason to be optimistic.
Here is a look at the Gopher cornerbacks heading into 2023:
Returning Starters:
- Justin Walley
- Jalen Glaze
Newcomers:
- Avante Dickerson
- Ryan Stapp
- Jason Maitre
- Evan Hull
Analysis:
The Gophers have a good mix of experience and youth in the secondary this season.
Walley and Glaze are both solid players who have starting experience.
Dickerson and Stapp are talented newcomers who could make an immediate impact.
Maitre and Hull are young players who could develop into solid contributors down the road.
Overall, the Gopher secondary looks to be improved in 2023.
The addition of Dickerson and Stapp should help to solidify the cornerback position.
If Walley and Glaze can continue to play at a high level, the Gophers could have one of the better secondaries in the Big Ten.
