One of the biggest challenges that coaches face in recruiting (particularly coaches in the MAC) is recruiting quality defensive backs. To have a D-I quality DB, you need a guy that has good change of direction, good speed, can make a play on the football when the ball is in the air, possesses the physicality to come up and make tackles in the run game as well as press receivers at the line of scrimmage, and has the mental toughness to come back after giving up a big play in the passing game and execute what is called on defense.
