How he fits:

Buford is an athletic cornerback with very good size, length and speed. In other words, your typical Sawvel guy. Displays great hands and instincts, has a knack for making the play. Can turn and run or fight receivers for position on contested routes. Big enough to play boundary corner but also has the hips to play nickel/field CB in Claeys' system.

Chances to play in 2015:

Sawvel guys play as true freshmen if they're worthy. Buford is worthy, and next in line at CB.
