Needing a shot in the arm at the linebacker position and a veteran presence in what is a young position group, the University of Toledo coaching staff has decided to move last year’s starting tight end Jordan Fisher over to the defense during spring practice.
“We needed some immediate depth as far as age goes at linebacker,” UT linebackers coach Mike Ward said. “Tyler [Taafe] and Richard [Olekanma] are two seniors and everybody else has four years of eligibility. So we need the boost of a veteran presence. Jordan is big enough, he’s strong enough, and he’s fast enough.
