Herman Hartman Jr. brings veteran DB pedigree and leadership to Southern
Herman Hartman Jr. stands out for his proven defensive-back pedigree, leadership, and physical presence; a local product who earned all-conference honors at Southern, served as a team captain, and reportedly led the team in tackles in the 2000 season before moving on to the CFL. The main reason to care: he profiles as a tone-setting, high-IQ defensive back who can stabilize a secondary with experience, competitiveness, and accountability—exactly the kind of player coaches trust in tight spots.
