Its not a major blow. But it does take away a player who was 100% ready to step in and take over the spot vacated by Messer at FS. Im curious as to who will fill the secondary spots. The corner and free safety positions are probably the hardest positions to play on HS football. Especially with the balance that alot of teams have in the run vs pass. Young and Dixon were great open field tacklers and really good pass defenders, Messers atheleticism allowed him to cover alot of ground to gaurd against the deep middle passes. I think those 3 will be missed more on the defensive side of the football than offensively. I think Carson Christian, John Cherry and Austin Howard will fill the holes at CB and SS. Im really curious to see who they put at FS now. Pass defense across the deep middle is my biggest concern. Seems if u have an accurate QB with even a little bit of an arm and a reciever who can get in a seem, its the hardest thing for a HS secondary to defend.
