In the wake of spring practice around the Big 12, we're updating our positions rankings for the league.
The series continues with the linebackers (previous ranking in parentheses):
1. TCU (1): The Big 12’s best linebacker duo before the spring remains in the pole position to enter summer. Senior Travin Howard is a returning first-team all-conference pick, and junior Ty Summers earned second-team honors. They ranked 1-2 in the Big 12 in tackles last season and complement each other especially well in the TCU system, which most often uses just the two linebackers.
