Led by Abdul Shabazz, arguably one of the best corners in the MLF, and Trav Davis, their corners make up the strength of this secondary. The safeties are average but the pass rush could help with coverage.
Dame Owens leads a well rounded linebacking corp. The Gladiator linebackers have a great combination of size and speed. Owens is a dominate force in the middle of the field which makes teams run off tackle t their towards the more athletic Gladiator outside linebackers.
Ja'Ron Morgan and Mike Wright spearhead a unit that is the essential piece of their defense. As the defensive line plays, so will the defense. Their aggressive pass rush is pivotal for them to force fumbles and make opposing QB's to rush throws.
