Dorian Hall and Olin Cushion III are two of several safeties competing for starting jobs at FIU, and they couldn’t be more different in a couple of major ways.
Hall, a redshirt freshman, is set to get his first collegiate action on Sept. 1, when the Panthers open their season against the visiting Indiana Hoosiers.
Cushion, a 5-8, 175-pound junior from Miami Central, has played 10 games for FIU, making one interception.
Aside from being less experienced, Hall, at 6-4, 190 pounds, is also a whopping eight inches taller than Cushion. Hall is also seven inches taller than Tyree Johnson and five inches taller than Richard Dames, two other safety candidates.
