  Draft Scout by Conference









  There are few positions in the "SwarmD" asked to do more than the Husky, and there's a good chance South Alabama will have a freshman starting there in 2021. Yam Banks has stepped forward to take most first-team reps through the first four days of camp at Husky, a hybrid position that combines elements of both cornerback and safety. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound native of Ridgeland, Miss., saw action in seven games for the Jaguars as a true freshman last season, albeit at cornerback. "It's a lot on me because I switched position from playing corner," Banks said. "I'm a big guy, so they expect me to play my weight - cover guys, get to the quarterback, fit on the runs - all that."

When head coach Kane Wommack and defensive coordinator Corey Batoon arrived at South Alabama in December, they penciled in veteran safety Patrick Rosette as the first-team Husky. But Rosette - who has seen action in just three games in two seasons with the Jaguars due to a variety of injuries - suffered a torn knee ligament during an offseason workout, and was lost for the 2021 season. That left the Jaguars with Banks and sophomore Keon Voisin, who played a more traditional safety role in 2020, to battle for the Husky position in the spring. TCU transfer Atanza Vongor arrived over the summer to make it a three-way competition. - Birmingham News
