Bears’ Blanchard believes he has talent to thrive at nickelback By JOHN WERNER jwerner@wacotrib.com Waco Tribune-Herald
Travon Blanchard believes he has the talent and savvy to make Baylor’s nickelback position his own.
After watching Ahmad Dixon, Sam Holl and Collin Brence play there the last few years, Blanchard wants to up the ante.
“I don’t want to be like them, I want to be better than them,” Blanchard said.
