  Bassey's 38 career passes defended (which combines interceptions and break-ups) is tied for the eighth-most in program history, and he's eight away from third-place Eric King. Bassey tied the single-season record in 2017 with 19 passes defended, and would need even more to reach second-place on the career list - Alphonso Smith had 61 passes defended from 2005-08, and A.J. Greene had 63 between 1985-88. There's a little more attention on Bassey from outside of the program, too: He landed on the preseason watch lists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy (best defensive player) and the Jim Thorpe Award (best defensive back).

Last August, coming off a season with three interceptions and 16 pass break-ups, it seemed Bassey was snubbed from the Jim Thorpe Award. "It's cool to see. It just speaks toward the expectations I have...from people around, just being a leader and continue to contribute the best way I can on the team," Bassey said. "Expectations are high and I wouldn't have it any other way. "I mean, it's good to see your name on those lists, but you know...at the end of the day, my main focus is coming out and working, leading my team the best way I can." - Winston Salem Journal
