Providing the Coverage

Cornerback Emani Fenton is good, but we may never know how good. It is difficult for the 5-9, 169 pound junior to showcase his skills when opposing quarterbacks refuse to throw the ball in his direction, but this year they may have no other choice. With no identifiable weak link, the secondary appears to be a strength for the defense this season, as Ivy League signal callers will soon learn.

Senior Frank Morand has made a smooth transition from cornerback to strong safety while a pair of juniors, Ben Heller and Dempsey Quinn, will fill the void left by first-team All-Ivy free safety Tim Bax ’09. Sophomore Rashad Campbell capitalized on the playing time he received in Cornell’s final four contests last season and has secured the other starting cornerback position.
