To continue our positional preview of the 2018 football season, it’s now time to take a quick look at the cornerback position. The Deacs should be solid at CB this season, returning 3 key players from last season in Essang Bassey, Amari Henderson, and Ja’Sir Taylor.
Bassey had a sensational year last season and quickly became a pass defending machine for Wake Forest. He finished the season 9th in the nation in total passes defended with 16 pass break ups and 3 interceptions. He also finished 5th on the team in total tackles with 75.
