Smith was a running back at Ellsworth and hadn't played cornerback since high school, but told USF coaches it was his natural position."When he wanted to come here, he said, "Coach, I can compete and play with these guys,"' Kravitz said. "I said, "I thought you were a running back,' and he said, "I always told the coaches up there I was a defensive back."'Kravitz said Orlando's Tyller Roberts, getting a look at corner and safety, is the freshman most likely to play this fall on defense.THIS AND THAT: The Bulls return to two-a-days in full pads today with three weeks to prepare for the Sept.3 opener at Penn State.- GREG AUMAN, Times staff writerhttp://www.sptimes.com/2005/08/15/Sports/Seminoles_linemen_buy.shtmlWe could use all the help at DB we can get.I'm glad to see that Roberts is likely to play. He had two interceptions in the Cali-Florida All-Star game this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I checked Anderson, Coleman, Carter and Spires did not quit and would love to be playing this Fall. DeArmas is the only kid who has quit.
