Filling out linebacker spots still a top priority for LSU leaving spring

Let's just say that the linebacker position at LSU is cloudy at best.

A position of major pride on the bayou, LSU's linebackers will enter the fall as a great unknown in Baton Rouge. The group, especially inside, is limited and barely has any shred of starting experience. Things were so bad for the Tigers this spring that outside linebacker Michael Divinity moved inside in order to have enough players at the position to practice.

The NFL took standouts Kendell Beckwith and Duke Riley, who combined for 184 tackles and 15 tackles for loss in 2016.
