Picasso Nelson Jr., a senior defensive back, summed up the defensive mindset best, “Do your job. Do it well and execute. Just get to the ball.”
The entire Golden Eagle football team understands how important the secondary’s leadership is to the defensive structure. Defensive backs coach Dan Disch wholeheartedly agrees. A standout comment from Disch when asked about experience and consistency came from him calling it, “the one thing in sports you can’t teach”. When Coach Disch first elaborated on that theme, two men came to mind quickly. That would be Senior cornerbacks Cornell Armstrong and Curtis Mikell.
