CEDAR FALLS – University of Northern Iowa football defensive coordinator Jeremiah Johnson has a mapped out plan for his 2020 Panther defense.
That document is more of a projection on Johnson’s part. In addition to his coordinator duties, he’s in charge of the defensive backfield and has an idea where he believes certain players will line up when UNI travels to Iowa City to face Iowa on Sept. 5.
Johnson agrees it would be safe to assume that all-American Omar Brown would be one of the starting corners. It would be fairly accurate to assume that Xavior Williams — who was an all-Missouri Valley Football Conference pick at corner in 2018 and again in 2019 as a safety — would line up somewhere on the Panthers’ backline of defense.
