Rookie quartet of defensive backs earns high early praise from Fisher on radio

The first two are from Arizona, the latter pair from Georgia. Fisher said Wright and Newsome will start off their careers at corner while Farmer and Pola-Gates will begin at safety. Fisher’s got plenty in mind for all four, even though he’s got a good number of contributors returning from a 2018 unit that improved substantially as the year proceeded.

Farmer is the most physically developed of the three and is an imposing 6-foot-3 and 195 pounds. Even before spring ball started, Fisher raved about Farmer’s athleticism and pointed out that he would be the biggest safety in the room the day he arrived on campus.
