Rather than sharing a secondary with the likes of Tre Swilling, Juanyeh Thomas and Tariq Carpenter, Georgia Tech cornerback Zamari Walton will team with a new set of defensive backs to assist in thwarting opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers. Swilling, Thomas and Carpenter left Tech with 114 combined starts, an exceeding wealth of experience. Tech's secondary returnees total 38 career starts, and 27 of those belong to Walton, a three-year starter from Melbourne, Fla.Yet, as the preseason approaches, Walton doesn't lack for confidence in what his group can do. "Oh, yeah, most definitely," said Walton, asked if he thought the secondary could be better than last year. "You can already see it now." On its face, Walton's forecast is ambitious. Talent-wise, the new cast has some holes to fill. Carpenter was drafted in the seventh round by the Green Bay Packers, Swilling (Tennessee Titans) and Thomas (Dallas Cowboys) signed undrafted free-agent contracts and safety Wesley Walker transferred to Tennessee. "Guys are working together; we're doing a lot of stuff off the field just to keep building that chemistry and just getting to know each other." - Atlanta Journal Constitution
