Zach Edwards has a stranglehold on one safety spot, but Gilbert has the inside track on the other after an impressive redshirt freshman season.
You couldn’t really ask for much more from Tyrell Gilbert last season. Gilbert, the redshirt freshman was an excellent understudy to Zach Edwards and made more plays than most upper classmen out of the safety spot.
The former three-star recruit covered ground like a madman and made plays all over the place, racking up tackles, swatting balls out of the air and even snagging a ball or two that happened to go amiss.
