Spring Preview: Safeties
March 04, 2020 | Cowboy Football
Safety may be the most well-stocked position group on the roster. It starts with junior Kolby Harvell-Peel, who earned first-team All-Big 12 accolades after ranking seventh nationally with five interceptions in 2019. Harvell-Peel led the Big 12 and ranked fourth in the FBS with 1.5 passes defended per game and has positioned himself as a candidate for the Jim Thorpe Award and All-America status entering 2020.
Junior Tre Sterling was a breakthrough performer last season with 70 tackles and eight passes broken up and is on the radar for All-Big 12 honors moving forward. He started 11 of the 12 games in which he played in 2019 and in the one game he didn't start, sophomore Jason Taylor II stepped in with little to no drop off. Junior Tanner McCalister is an established veteran performer as well. Sophomores Kanion Williams and Sean Michael Flanagan, both of whom provided strong contributions on special teams in 2019, will get a look during the spring.
