Ernest Gunn brings veteran size and steady run support to Southern Miss’s secondary
Ernest Gunn is a **6-1, 180-pound redshirt senior DB** who has already shown he can handle a bigger workload, appearing in all 13 games in 2019 and making five starts while producing 19 tackles, including multiple five-tackle outings[1]. His value is in his experience, physical profile, and reliability: he has progressed from a rotational role into a proven depth piece who can step in without blinking, which matters for a team that wants an older, composed defensive back who can tackle and stay assignment-sound[1].
