FSU football: 2023 linebacker outlook and possible depth issue

FSU football has a position of need at the linebacker position as we approach the 2023 season.

Depth will be an issue with only four players with real college game experience. Florida State will play mostly a 4-2-5 nickel defense that gives us a two-deep rotation.

Let’s take a look at the current depth chart.

MLB
  1. Kalen DeLoach (RS SR)
  2. D.J. Lundy (RS JR)
WLB
  1. Tatum Bethune (RS SR)
  2. Omar Graham (RS FR)

DeLoach and Bethune are a dynamic tandem in this defense, as both guys have the speed to the ball and are very athletic to cover.
