No. 1: West Virginia

The Mountaineers’ secondary is loaded for 2015. Their 3-3-5 scheme is seemingly tailored to their talent-laden trio of safeties in Karl Joseph (first-team All Big 12), Dravon Henry (Freshman All-American), and KJ Dillon. They also have a solid number one cornerback in Daryl Worley.

The only question on the secondary will be the number two Cornerback, which will most likely be filled by JUCO transfer Rasul Douglas (6-foot-2, 200-pounds) or incoming Freshman Tyrek Cole (6-foot-0, 170-pounds, consensus 4-star). If the Mountaineers can manage to get some help from their “front-six,” this could be a very tough unit in 2015.
