A long-awaited fire ignited in senior cornerback Josh Cox as he took the field for the first time this season.
As the season opener against Rhode Island got underway and the Central Michigan defense came out at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, Cox didn’t line up at his usual spot at cornerback, but instead settled in behind his teammates at safety.
The third team All-Mid-American Conference corner from a year ago was lining up at a new position for the first time at CMU, however, safety is a position that Cox is more than familiar with.
“I’m real comfortable at safety, that’s what I’ve been playing my whole life,” Cox said.
