A knee injury kept the star safety from following his Ole Miss teammates to the NFL a year early. With his recovery on track, he should quickly become a hot commodity for the 2017 draft.
The picture of the safety position at Ole Miss next year isn't very rosy. While CJ Hampton was a highly prized recruit and has played a decent amount in his first two years at Ole Miss, he hasn't been great. The other true safety position is a big unknown, so it stands to reason that Ole Miss won't easily replicate the effect Mike Hilton and Trae Elston had on the secondary.
