A VERY early look at 2011 (Defense)

Whilst running on the treadmill the other morning and watching a 2010 KSU game on TIVO (I think it was the KU game), I was thinking of what could be of the 2011 K-State football team.

You know who I like A LOT and am glad he'll be back in 2011? David Garrett. This guy can flat out play. From corner blitzes to coverage, this guy was DA BOMB in 2010.

At safety, here's to seeing #2 and #23 on the sidelines while Ty Zimmerman (Freshman All American) and Tanner Burns take over. Sprinkle in ELamur a few downs, but PLEASE leave Hartman off the field. Toasted Hartman is this guys nickname.

At linebacker, back is Hrebek. While not all that athletic, he DOES seem to have a nack to get to the ball carrier (when he went down with his injury in 2010, the run defense suffered). Arthur Brown will be in there HOPEFULLY playing to what everyone hopes he will be. And true freshman (in 2010) Tre Walker needs to add about 15 lbs in the off season.

Up front, Ray Kibble will be back on the inside and hopefully Javonta Boyd learned a ton while redshirting in 2010. The need for 2 more guys to rotate is critical. Raphael Guidry is listed as a Junior on a website, so that will help (a little).

On the end, Brandon Harold will be back, and (fingers crossed) Adam Davis gets healthy. Just like on the inside, at end there is a need for 2 others to step up.
