Erskine Francis brings ball-hawking DB upside to Austin Peay
Francis looks like a **playmaker in the secondary**: Austin Peay lists him as a defensive back, and his junior-college production included **35 tackles, 2 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries, and 6 pass breakups** at Fort Scott CC, which points to strong ball skills and an instinct for finishing plays.[5] That kind of turnover creation makes him appealing if you want a DB who can compete on the ball, not just cover space, and his recruiting trail to Austin Peay after offers from other FCS programs suggests legitimate mid-major interest.[1][5]
