The Concern:

Bishop has been playing defense over the past two seasons. But the question will continue along with the Mecole Hardman conversations about whether he is more suited for offense or defense. He is a proven play maker with the ball in his hands.

Will he be able to crack the starting rotation at safety within his first two years on campus, or will he soon be trying to make an adjustment back to the defensive side of the ball?

Expectations at Georgia:

I fully expect Tray Bishop to be an outstanding safety for the Dawgs. He has all the physical tools to make a impact immediately on campus, he may not start the first year. But he should see the field a lot as a freshman.

I could see him and LeCounte being the starting safeties for at least two seasons, especially if Gibbs is able to stick at the STAR position.
