Chidobe Awuzie
Defensive back, Jr., 6-0, 195
He is one of the most versatile players on the roster who is capable of playing any position in the secondary. He was the team's third-leading tackler last season, despite playing in only nine games. Still looking for his first interception.
Addison Gillam
Inside linebacker, Jr., 6-3, 225
He has racked up 198 total tackles in his first two seasons. Gillam is coming off what was perceived as a sophomore slump, but he suffered through sickness, injuries and some personal struggles last fall, but with all that behind him he could be better than ever this year if he is able to stay healthy.
