Ball State’s secondary has been through the grind. The projected starting lineup features two safeties in their fifth-year with the program, a senior cornerback, and a graduate student who has been on college football rosters since 2016. After a long and worthwhile wait, the entire starting secondary owns MAC championship rings after serving as an integral unit for the 2020 Cardinals.
Ball State intercepted passes at the second highest rate in the MAC last season. After finishing the season recording four picks against the San Jose State offense in the program’s first ever bowl win, the Cardinals’ secondary enters 2021 with the necessary momentum needed for a spectacular follow-up act.
