1. Linebacker – you have to love this group led by MLB Richie Brown. He’ll be the veteran of the group as a second year starter but he got plenty of playing time as a freshman and sophomore too.
At WLB are a pair of redshirt freshman in Leo Lewis, the No. 1 LB in the 2015 class, and Tim Washington. There’s youth here, but it’s really talented, and Gerri Green could also step in here too.
At the “Star” LB you’ve got J.T. Gray who started in 2015 and Traver Jung who is coming off a redshirt year after transferring in from juco.
