Freshman Jordan Pendleton (6-2, 218) and sophomore Andrew Rich (6-3, 210), a transfer from Snow Junior College, will be top safety reserves. Rich had a monster year at Snow in 2007, leading the Badgers in tackles (120) and interceptions (five).
This sounded the best of the d side of the ball to me. Our defense has returning (from JC) players who still have to compete to get playing time.
We supposedly have a big hole to fill with so many players being replaced. But this sounds good.
