NAME: Torrie Cox
HT/WT: 5-10, 181
POSITION: Cornerback
COLLEGE: Pittsburgh
BACK IN THE DAY: A two-year starter for the Panthers, Cox played in 42 games with 24 starts. As a senior, he was first team All Big East after starting 13 games and recording 82 tackles.
TO MAKE THE TEAM: It's an uphill challenge for Cox. The Bucs are intrigued with the battle for the fifth cornerback spot, but with returners Corey Ivy and Tim Wansley and safety-corner Dwight Smith all in the mix, Cox is going to need an outstanding camp. He's a confident player and will need to make plays in the exhibition games.
A LITTLE KNOWN FACT: Cox has a row of four gold-plated upper teeth which he said he has had since his sophomore year in high school. The teeth, which he occassionally takes out for cleaning, have never been scratched or damaged during a football game. "I've been playing football all my life with them and nothing has ever happened," he said.
