Junior inside linebackers D’Marco Jackson and Trey Cobb entered the 2020 season as starters after Jordan Fehr and Akeem Davis-Gaither left for the NFL.
“Playing with those older guys and seeing how they played and how they came into the game, we really just wanted to install that in our games and become better players and leaders so we can lead this defense after they leave,” Cobb said.
Cobb and Jackson have stepped into their roles as the starting linebackers on this defense and currently sit first and second on the team in tackles, combining for a total of 82 through six games.
