UK’s Linebackers: Who’s going to fill their shoes?

On top of being one of my all-time favorite George Jones songs, this phrase is now applicable to the Kentucky linebacker corps. One of if not the biggest concern going into 2015 was linebacker depth. Training camp has not been kind to DJ Eliot and Andy Buh’s position groups. Leading off was outside linebacker Jason Hatcher’s untimely suspension and Kobie Walker’s lingering health issues that prevented him from practicing during fall camp. Later came Ryan Flannigan’s shoulder injury then the Jordan Jones’ illness that will sideline him for up to two weeks. Before today, I was hearing that Jordan Jones was potentially working his way into the starting lineup.
