One of two sophomore safeties will rise this fall, if not both.
For the University of Alabama, Daniel Wright and Eddie Smith are known around the community – however, the two seek national attention and fall camp will determine which one makes the bigger impact in the defensive secondary.
Both guys are talented players with much to offer, but Wright and Smith also have different skill sets.
Wright, a former four-star, came to the Crimson Tide from Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) as one of the highest rated safeties in the 2017 recruiting cycle. He was regarded as a premiere coverage defender, but his physicality at 6’1” and 190 pounds allows him to be a big-time hitter.
