This has been a real challenge. Each one of these “Three Best” articles has plenty of players who have to settle for an honorable mention but trying to pick the three best linebackers has been an exercise in indecision because of the incredible surplus of talent and proven production among the linebackers on the rosters of this season’s opponents for the Cincinnati Bearcats.

Obviously this is far from a scientific process and we may be able to look at this post and laugh at how wrong I was by the end of the season, but for now, here are the three best linebackers the Bearcats will face in 2019.
