Coach Hoke confirmed today the rumor that free safety Ray Vinopal has left the team to return to Youngstown for a family-related issue. It doesn't sound like Vinopal will be returning to school, this leaves a huge hole at free safety for Greg Mattison to fill. If Cullen Christian or Courtney Avery is able to step up and prove to be a starter at cornerback, I wouldn't be surprised if Troy Woolfolk is moved back to safety. The only scholarship free safety left on the roster is incoming freshman Tamani Carter, perhaps the staff would move Marvin Robinson or Josh Furman from strong safety to free safety.
