Jeremy Cash/S/Duke: In a nutshell Cash put on a defensive clinic against Georgia Tech. First his numbers which included a team leading 12 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles and 4 quarterback hurries. Cash created havoc all day displaying great intensity as well as instincts and versatility. He was effective up the field while showing discipline in pass coverage. Cash, who entered the season with late round grades, stated his case to be a second day selection.

Darian Thompson/S/Boise State: The Broncos defense manhandled Virginia during their 42-point victory on Friday and Thompson proved why scouts consider him the nation’s top senior safety. The center fielder finished the game with 5 tackles and also intercepted a pass, his second pick in four games. Thompson is a big, forceful safety that devastates opponents stuffing the run while also showing skill covering the pass sideline-to-sideline. He’s a top 60 prospect that could move into the initial 40 picks if he participates at the Senior Bowl then shows next level ball skills.

Su’a Cravens/S/USC: If Thompson is the top senior safety in the nation few would argue the number one junior at the position, and possibly the best prospect regardless of year, is Cravens. The forceful safety put on another show during the win over Arizona with a team leading 6 tackles, 2 tackles for loss while also forcing a fumble. In four games this season Cravens has four tackles for loss and a pair of pass defenses. He’s omnipresent every Saturday and is constantly around the action. The question asked by many is whether the 220-plus pound defender will play safety or linebacker at the next level.

Isaac Asiata/G/Utah: The Utes trouncing of Oregon 62-20 in Eugene was impressive in so many ways. Offensively the team combined for 530-yards and Asiata’s blocking helped paved the way. Strong as an ox, the junior manhandled opponents all night and for the most part held his own against defensive end Deforest Buckner, the nation’s top rated senior prospect.

Oooooh.... Safeties? I like.

Cash started out at Ohio State and was a 3-star recruit out of Florida. Strong Safety type but pretty athletic.

I've been wondering if our scouts would be interested in Darian Thompson (not that article states we are). He is a true Free Safety and we seem to be enamored with Boise State players lately.

Su'a Cravens is a monster. He's either a strong safety or an outside linebacker at the next level. He's like a more athletic Kam Chancellor. Saw him play in high school where he was also a dangerous WR.

A true FS from Boise State...that has Cowboys written all over it.
