I’ve had the honor of doing the linebacker preview and review for STS the last couple of years. This has generally been a very fun group to discuss since Brent Venables came to town and upgraded what had been a bit of a weak link unit in the Kevin Steele era. Venables has had at least one first, second, or third team All-ACC linebacker from his unit every year since 2013. Last year saw both Dorian O’Daniel and Kendall Joseph honored, with O’Daniel’s being a Butkis Award Finalist. Tiger fans know they can count on Venables to develop his talent (as well as help identify and acquire it).
