Kyon Loud’s Value

[Grizzy44]

Yes, he played against USD.

He had some good reps. They played him sparingly once the game was in hand.

Might be just an addition to the defensive plan but having Loud allows our defensive to free up a man to go cover fly sweeps and a swing pass similar to Jones' in the brawl. It happened in the USD game and didn't see who but the swing pass guy was going to be lit up if they had thrown it.

I was on the Loud bandwagon early last season. Terrific he's back and a difference maker

What makes Loud so much more impactful is how well Kenzel has stepped up into the #1 role in his absence. So now having 2 guys is a tandem we had in 21-23 that elevated this defense. Solo makes a huge difference down on the line of scrimmage as well. I like what I’ve seen.

That’s an incredible statistic! He’s not only our best coverage guy, but also a hyper competitive dude that upgrades our run defense as well. He brings the right kind of attitude and confidence.
