Bailey will be able to compete in the combine after breaking his leg in the team's final regular season game against Akron. Bailey stepped on campus and morphed into a versatile starter over his career.

In four seasons, he played every position on the offensive line and racked up All-SEC honors at the end of his senior season. He played in 46 games over his career and started every regular season game last year before his injury.

Fenton started almost every game over the last two seasons at cornerback, picking up 67 tackles and four interceptions his final two years on campus.
