Tulane Football’s new head coach Jon Sumerall will look to a Troy Transfer to reshape their defensive unit.
build their secondary ahead of the 2024 season, transfer Caleb Ransaw from Troy displayed traits of lockdown coverage in spring that commanded attention.
Though a modified version of an odd front, the Green Wave ran out of a base 3-3-5 defense last season under the same defensive philosophy we can expect under this current coaching staff. Focusing on coverage, that leaves you with your typical two safeties, cornerbacks, and what Tulane fans will come to know as Spear.. Each position group requires you to grade and submit reports on five players – each with distinct traits.
In my three years as Tulane’s sideline reporter, I’ve seen several players grow and thrive in this role. In 2021, Jadon Canady was one of the bright spots to watch consistently, but was moved to cornerback in 2022 after losing personnel. Macon Clark had played safety the prior season and was tasked with adapting his skillset to become the new Spear.
One game in particular stood out: his complete shutdown of LaJohntay Wester at FAU, who entered the game leading the nation with 93 receptions. Pedescleaux only allowed 86 yards by Wester in coverage on 11 receptions and no touchdowns. That’s without breaking down his blitzing abilities.
