Over the next few weeks, I’ll talk to Arizona State position coaches about what they learned in spring practice.
Today: Outside linebackers.
Coach: Shawn Slocum. In addition to coaching special teams, Slocum has coached ASU’s outside linebackers the past two seasons. Before joining coach Todd Graham's staff, he spent eight years coaching special teams in the NFL.
State of the position: Unknown. The Sun Devils have two outside positions – Devil backer and spur – and both likely will feature new starters. Antonio Longino last season led the Pac-12 in sacks from the Devil position, but he exhausted his eligibility.
