Northwestern has a white cornerback -- Jeff Backes. The two announcers for tonight's Northwestern-Ohio State game (both black by the way) commented on his speed, so to actually be allowed to play CB and be remarked about like that, Backes must have some serious talent.
That makes at least four I-A teams starting a white at cornerback this season: Northwestern, Arizona State, Ohio State, and Boston College.
