  Draft Scout by Conference









  The difference between playing on offense and defense, as Tobias Oliver explained it, sounds a little bit like the difference between throwing a party and attending one. It's a dichotomy that the junior from Warner Robins has gleaned in the past several months in his transition from first playing quarterback and then wide receiver in the past two seasons before switching to cornerback in spring practice. "Offensively, it's much more schematic than defense," Oliver said. "Like, defense, you can still do all the rah-rah and still make plays. Offense, you've got to be a lot more focused, you've got to read a lot more keys."

Oliver added that there are still keys to read and techniques to play on defense, "but you're just playing football at the end of the day," he said. Not every defensive player, particularly those who are playing defense for the first time in several years, can play as freely as Oliver evidently has. It bodes well for defensive coordinator Andrew Thacker's unit. If one of the more athletic, hardworking and determined players on the roster can make a smooth transition and contribute, the progress that's expected out of the defense this year could be even more pronounced. "I love T.O.," safeties coach Nate Burton said. "He's got a great desire to learn, to be better. He wants to get better every day, studying film, asking questions. He uses every resource here imaginable to become the best version of himself, the best corner that he can be for us here at Georgia Tech." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
