There was an understanding among Florida State University School coaches during Ronnie Harrison's senior season last year.
"We kind of had a rule that when the ball crossed the 50 he went in [at defensive back]," Florida State University School coach Jarrod Hickman said during a phone interview.
Otherwise, Harrison primary focused on playing quarterback aside from important games and/or difficult matchups during which his team needed him on defense — whether at cornerback or safety.
Harrison played less than 12 snaps on defense in some games, Hickman said.
That was the reason for Alabama's promising freshman safety posting just modest totals of 39 tackles, five pass breakups and no interceptions as a senior.
