Linebackers continue to evolve as college football grows more in favor of the offense. Not only do they have to battle with 300-pound linemen, but they also have to find a way to cover guys who run 4.4-40’s downfield. It’s not easy being a linebacker, but the AAC actually has some talented players with bright futures.
1. Tulane: The star of the defense is Dorian Williams, a long and rangy linebacker who can do a little bit of everything. He will be the player bring versatility like Patrick Johnson did to the defense. Marvin Moody and Nick Anderson return at linebacker as well to bring a plethora of starting experience that this group will love having on their side.
