Erik Fennell brings veteran safety instincts and tackling reliability to Murray State
Erik Fennell is a battle-tested defensive back for Murray State whose calling card is steady production and sure tackling: in the 2010 season, he started all 11 games at safety and finished fifth on the team with 60 tackles, following a 2009 campaign with 67 tackles and at least three stops in every game. His edge is reliability, range, and consistency rather than flash, and the fact that he piled up production as a full-time starter suggests a player coaches can trust to line up correctly and keep the defense organized.
