More than likely. Still don't know what he's capable of because we haven't seen much of him yet, but that is one of the thinnest position groups on the team, so he would've been in heavy rotation I believe.Was he expected to be in the rotation? I knowsome people wanted him to get a better look last year
Yea just looked at the roster and saw only a few linebackers total; most of which are freshman and walkons.More than likely.

Thomas is back at LB. Knight never really was one, and BJS is the one that wanted to move to RB. We'll be thin there if we have any injuries but I think we'll be ok, and it's not as easy as it sounds to walk a safety down to LB or cross train them. There is a ton of eye discipline and pre-snap reads that are different for the two positions and could easily get confusing. Don't forget we still have Quez Jackson, transfer Ace Eley, Charlie Thomas, Khatavian Franks, Khaya Wright, and Trenilyas Tatum.Yea just looked at the roster and saw only a few linebackers total; most of which are freshman and walkons.
Makes the moves of Charlie Thomas, Knight and BJS to positions of depth more interesting.
Felike someone out of Carpenter, Allen, Thomas would slide down to get the best on the field.
Franks, Wright are both 6'2+. Excited to see what they can do and how much they weigh.Thomas is back at LB. Knight never really was one, and BJS is the one that wanted to move to RB.

Yea. We have 2 LBs and some true freshman. That’s my point.Thomas is back at LB. Knight never really was one, and BJS is the one that wanted to move to RB.

Quez, Eley, and Thomas are not freshman. They are the 3 likely starters for the 2 LB spots. Wright and Franks are listed as true freshmen because of Covid year, but have been with the program over a year. Tatum is the only true freshman and likely has the highest ceiling.Yea.

Ok, sorry. We have a multi-year starter that has been inconsistent at best, a transfer we scoped for depth, and a journeyman that has struggled in every position despite great athletic ability. I hope the true freshman rockQuez, Eley, and Thomas are not freshman. They are the 3 likely starters for the 2 LB spots.

So your suggestion is to move more guys out of position to cover. Ok. And not real sure if you're saying Charlie Thomas struggled at every position... he was probably one of the best LB's in 2019 but he struggled to keep weight on and got injured a couple times because of it is why he moved to DB. He struggled at DB because he's more natural playing downhill as a LB. He's finally at a better weight and they moved him back.Ok, sorry.

I hope the true freshman rock
You think Eley - a grad transfer - was “scoped for depth?”Ok, sorry. We have a multi-year starter that has been inconsistent at best, a transfer we scoped for depth, and a journeyman that has struggled in every position despite great athletic ability. I hope the true freshman rock
