There's pretty much no downside to these guys. Darrian is obviously a huge guy who can move which is what the Ponies desperately need on the D-Line. Based upon that, I think he has the opportunity to make an immediate impact on this defense.

With Cedric,pretty much the same attitude. I don't see a downside in this at all. With his size and very decent speed, he could be a real steal if he materializes as a player. I'm never one to turn down a chance to improve our secondary.

The Billups brothers could end up being a force to reckon with in the WAC. Good luck to both of them!! I'm sure they'll feel at home in the Red and Blue.

Can someone post the height, weight, speed, any stats, etc. for these guys? And is Cedric a CB or safety? Anyone have numbers on him?

Darrian 6'5" 290 5.19/40 yd
Cedric 6'0" 190 4.6/40 yd

As for CB/Safety for Cedric, I'm pretty sure he would play Safety as it's more of a natural switch from playing linebacker in High School, but I can't say for sure.

There's some more info under the "first commitment" thread below.

cedric is a strong or free , he had 120 tackels in his 11th grade year. he is real quick and can run down hill to the football.

and darrian is a big guy that can stop the run cold, and has great speed off the line , has pretty good pass rushing skills but will get better as his season goes on.
