One of the position battles going on for the Hurricanes during spring camp is middle linebacker, and it seems that second-year player Corey Flagg is a cut above the rest up to this point. Competing with Bradley Jennings Jr. and Tirek Austin-Cave, Flagg has been the talk of camp thus far, earning praise from just about everyone the media is able to interview.
From what we’ve heard from camp, I think we’re about to see Corey Flagg take a huge step for the Canes at linebacker.

Last season, the linebackers were one of the weak points for this Hurricanes defense, and finding a consistent starter Miami could rely on became a year-long headache.
