SAFETIES: TED PROVOST, Ohio State, 6 ft. 2 in., 180 lbs.; and GLENN CANNON, Mississippi, 6 ft. 3 in., 190 lbs. Provost is a hustling, hard-nosed strong safety who has developed "a fine knack for homing in on the ball." He drew everyone's attention by intercepting Mike Phipps twice in this year's Purdue game. Says one scout: "He's just what you are looking for in a great defensive back —a hard tackler with quick feet." Cannon is "a typical Southeastern Conference back —tough and fast, with excellent hands and the ability to make the big play consistently. In college, he is already the model of what a free safety should be."
