S Aaron Gant (official thread)

[JXC]

He's probably going to get a lot of playing time in the next month. He's done nothing but impress.

I wonder if Gant's fully recovered from the concussion he got in the spring game...

I hope so. Remembering some of lumber he layed last fall, I expect Gant to be causing some concussions this season.

True dat. Between him and Russell, we have a pair a nuclear detonators at safety just waiting to go off on the opposition...

Kurt Coleman isn't chopped liver in the hitting department either. Those three are going to help solidfy the safety spot for the next 2-3 years.

Aaron played in the spring game. Fully recovered from the concussion he'd received 2 weeks PRIOR to the spring game.

He's good to go and working hard.

A page in the Gameday program is from a Q-and-A with Aaron. It's a pdf file for Adobe.

It seems at this point that Aaron probably won't be back this season. Any idea if he plans to come back for year 5 or hang them up? He'd at least be a veteran presence to OJ and Oliver, as well as a special teams demon.

It seems like Gant will be around for a 5th year and could be in the mix for one of the open safety spots...

?We?ve got guys like Aaron Gant, Orhian Johnson, Jermale Hines who will do a good job stepping into those safety positions,? Chekwa said.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gant was one of those guys who surprises and starts as a senior and does a great job like Antonio Smith, Jay Richardson, etc. Should be an interesting battle for that open spot between he, Johnson, Hines, and Barnett.

it's 84 Worthington, he wrote 82 and 9 on his arm (tribute to Rose and Small) for the Rose Bowl that you can pretty clearly see in that picture

Nope. Worthington.

I remember Blount punching it in over Worthington on that play
