Major Wright says concern over safety position overblown
Okay, so the Gators have lost two starting safeties to graduation and another four to injuries, transfers and legal problems since January.
Sophomore safety Major Wright believes even with all those issues, people are making too much about the Gators' "dire" situation at that position.
"I'm not really worried because I know the guys that we do have, they are going to work hard and go out there and compete,'' Wright said. "We have a couple of freshman that came in and they are doing pretty good. And we have a couple of guys that were already here that know (the position) and they are doing good, too.''
Still, Wright acknowledged that with so little depth and experience at the position, he's having to mature quickly.
"It's a very big change, because it's gone from me being yound (a freshman last season), to me having to grow up a lot sooner than I (should) have to. But I have trust in all the safeties we have back there right now.''
