Ed Orgeron's been asked three days in a row about who will replace K'Lavon Chaisson. The star pass-rushing Buck linebacker went out for the season Sunday (Aug. 2) with a knee injury, and now the Tigers need to try to find somebody to start in his stead.
When asked in his Tuesday press conference, his Wednesday radio show and his Thursday press conference, Orgeron always listed four guys who could compete for time.
But each time, he led with the same name -- Ray Thornton.
The redshirt sophomore can play both the Buck linebacker and F linebacker spots, saying in past interviews he wants to make sure he can be versatile and understand both aspects of the defense.
