Provo • Although BYU’s linebacking corps in 2017 featured one of the best defenders in program history in San Francisco 49ers’ rookie Fred Warner, it never became the dominant unit it was projected to be.
New linebackers coach Ed Lamb hopes to change that, but acknowledges is it going to take a lot of work.
Lamb said at BYU Football Media Day in June that the three starting linebackers will be converted safety Zayne Anderson at flash linebacker (Warner’s old spot), converted defensive end Sione Takitaki at weakside linebacker and Butch Pau’u at middle linebacker.
