2. JL Skinner, S

JL Skinner was all over the field for the Broncos on Saturday. The junior safety in Skinner had a team-high 10 total tackles, and 2.5 of them were tackles for loss.

Skinner also had a fumble recovery in the close loss.

This is the second time this season that JL Skinner has had at least 10 total tackles in a game. He had 13 total tackles to kick off the season at UCF in another very close defeat in which the Knights needed a furious comeback to pull off.

Skinner is tied for first on the team currently with two forced fumbles on the year. If the Broncos are on your upcoming schedule prepare to be watching a lot of film on the San Diego-native safety.
