Jung likes his new role at viper

There was a lot of change and learning for Traver Jung this past spring.

The Mississippi State junior was adjusting to an entirely new defensive staff and scheme and also a new position. Jung spent the 2015 season at sam linebacker but switched to viper in the spring which is a new hybrid position combining an outside linebacker and a defensive end created by new defensive coordinator Peter Sirmon.
