David Bedford has never craved the spotlight, and, truth be told, it’s never beamed close to his direction during his time with the University of South Florida football team.

Until now.

The senior defensive end recently has drawn rave reviews from the coaching staff, which has been impressed with his play during the first few weeks of the season. Through USF’s first two games, Bedford is third on the team with eight tackles, tops among linemen, leads the team with two tackles for loss and also has an interception.

Being thrust to the forefront of the conversation regarding impact players may be something new for Bedford, but it’s a situation he seems to be taking in stride.

You can read the rest of the story on Bedford that appeared in Sunday’s Tampa Tribune by clicking HERE.

Also, USF has players/coaches availability following Sunday night’s practice, so we should have some notes to pass along later tonight.
