I think I've got the solution. Just put Percy Harvin and Tim Tebow as your safeties. I mean, they're so fast and so good and so wholesome that they should find it easy to play both ways.

If Tebow got a decent bit of playing time at something like LB or safety, I'd be one of his #1 fans. Same thing with Harvin if he got a decent bit of playing time at something like corner. One of my dreams is for LSU to have a guy who played enough on both O and D that he'd be considered a two-way player in this modern era (similar to Heisman-winner Charles Woodson of Michigan).

Jeffers to be eligible to play for Vandy in 2009

Terence Jeffers, Connecticut's leading receiver last season, will finish his career at Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson announced on Wednesday that Jeffers was enrolled in summer school classes at Vanderbilt and would be a part of the Commodores' football program. Jeffers is required to sit out this season per NCAA transfer rules, but will still have two years of eligibility remaining beginning with the 2009 season.

"Terence wants to be a Commodore and has worked hard to join the team," Johnson said. "I look forward to him being a great contributor on the practice field next season and a valuable player on Saturdays starting in 2009."

Gators WR Harvin 'ahead of schedule' after heel surgery

TAMPA, Fla. -- Florida receiver Percy Harvin is "ahead of schedule" in his return from heel surgery, coach Urban Meyer said Thursday.

Meyer said Harvin, one of the nation's most dynamic players, has started running full speed and should be ready to go when the Gators begin fall practice next month.

"He's doing tremendous," Meyer said at the Florida Sports Writers Association's annual college football media days. "What happens with skilled athletes and you see it all the time -- especially with the race-horse-type guys -- if they hurt a certain part of their body, another part of their body takes over and then you start having the hip flexors, hamstring issues, quad issues. So we're being very cautious."

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP)?LSU offensive lineman Jarvis Jones was kicked off the Tigers? football squad for an unspecified violation of team rules.

LSU coach Les Miles announced the decision Thursday.

?The issues we had with Jarvis were internal and ones that we dealt with within the framework of our team,? Miles said in a statement. ?However, we just felt like it was time to go in a different direction. We wish him well in any of his future endeavors.?

The 6-foot-7 Jones played in seven games last year as a freshman for the Tigers.

Maybe someone with the right media program can clean it up, but Rainey has a 4.24 and leads the team.

Harvin (an older time I guess, and not his post surgery) is 2.8


When Demps runs he should beat Rainey - although the 40 is a different beast than the 100 meter, where Demps is king.

But nice to soon have 5 guys under 4.3 to put on the field in a five wideout set.

Opposing DCs will get heartburn.

LOL oops :tongue2: 4.28

I don't know about his speed, but the heel surgery down time gave him extra reps in the weight room. Percy is now about 200 pounds and ripped. We'll see if the extra weight slows him down or makes him into an every down back.
