If the defensive line was the position where FIU was hurt the most by graduation, then the defensive backs might be second with the losses of starting cornerbacks and cousins Richard Leonard and Jeremiah McKinnon. Sophomore Mark Bruno (above) might be the FIU cornerback returning with the most game experience.
Before we review and preview the FIU defensive backs leading to National Signing Day, here is the disclaimer: Due to NCAA restrictions, I can only comment on current or former Panthers until National Signing Day on Feb. 3. Until then you good people are smart enough to know where to find recruiting rumblings.
