The WKU football team is looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2018 campaign. The linebacker corps is a key group in the improvement of the defense and the team as a whole.
The Hilltoppers have seven linebackers listed on their roster, with redshirt senior Eli Brown and junior Kyle Bailey, a former safety, as the likely starters, heading into the fall after WKU lost a couple major pieces at the position.
Both Masai Whyte and Ben Holt are set to graduate this spring. Holt, who has one year of eligibility remaining, announced his intention to transfer to Purdue on Feb.
