The unit received excellent reviews following Saturday’s scrimmage. When Mark Stoops opened his doors to the media this morning, the praise was validated. The linemen are more mobile and explosive than ever before, in part to some new additions.
“There’s good competition there. I like the way we’re improving,” Stoops said after today’s practice. “Across the board, we definitely have more depth.”
Josh Paschal spent his first season at outside linebacker. Now the team’s greatest physical freak is creating explosive plays out of a three-point stance. Adrian Middleton has matured at defensive tackle, while JUCO transfer Phil Hoskins has emerged as a disruptive threat.
