Well Mack tweeted that he was the best linebacker in football....we may not need anyone elsewe are looking pretty thin at ILB on the existing Depth chart. any ideas of who from this class is slated to be able to play ILB verse at OLB?
LOL - I feel pretty good about him and moses as our two starters in the middle, but after that we don't seem to have much. Benton. Holcombe if he can get healthy and then nothing else.Well Mack tweeted that he was the best linebacker in football....we may not need anyone else
interesting. I've watched all the guys highlights, and Latu played DE in HS so thought he's be slated as a Jack LB. Walker is rated/listed as an OLB, but all his film is an off the ball player, which typically translates into ILB in our scheme. Will be fun to watch either way to see where all the parts fit.Of the current LB commits, Cameron Latu is the only one slotted for ILB.
Actually, I was wrong. Latu is an OLB prospect.interesting. I've watched all the guys highlights, and Latu played DE in HS so thought he's be slated as a Jack LB.

It was reported that we were recruiting Vernon Jackson as a ILB but he is a soft commit at this point. The staff may not be sure on him and that is probably why they have offered the kid at AllyBama's high school.Actually, I was wrong. Latu is an OLB prospect.
UA announced the early signees and didn't list any of those as an ILB.
Jaylen Moody hasn't been offered yet. Just coming on an official next weekend. Seems to be more of a fallback plan.It was reported that we were recruiting Vernon Jackson as a ILB but he is a soft commit at this point.

We also have Markail Benton at ILB who redshirted this year so currently on roster we have:
Wilson
Moses
Holcombe
Davis
Benton
I think we want 6-7 ILB's so we need 1-2 in this class.
He is working and improving but heard on Tider Insider the other day that he is working at OLB.Hopefully the lights come on for Ben Davis.
Keep an eye out for Dax Hollifield 4* ILB from Shelby, NC.
