This question is mostly directed at Alex, but I'd like to hear everyone elses opinions as well.
I realize there are very few LB's returning from last year, but with the addition of 5 new ones, do you see any of them possibly moving to Dline or the Star? Urban is all about getting the best players on the field, but in a perfect world Shazier and C. Grant will be the two starters. These guys have 3 more years of eligiblity and injuries do happen. However, if these guys end up competing in practice, they need to see the field, right? I understand this is early as they haven't even stepped up on campus yet, but if you sign 5 solid LB's even with redshirts, I feel like they need to see the field somehow.
Early to speculate, but with the season being 7 months away I can't really think of much else to talk about.
If any line backers switch positions which I don't think they will. Camren Williams could play star he is a bit undersized compared to the other guys and is a very fast mover. He is also very good in coverage, but he would make a great Will as well. Perry and Marcus are big fast and are outstanding pass rushers, either or both could be moved to DE but I have a feeling they will be used more as Clay Matthews types and be primarily pass rushing LB's in blitz packages. Wouldn't shock me if one of those guys moves to Mike either.
this is such a great 'problem' to have (i say problem for lack of a better term, fyi)
Marcus is bigger than all the other LB's from this class according to the sizes listed on the recruiting sites, except for possibly Perry. Perry and Marcus could play weak side end if we didnt already have Steve Miller, JT Moore, and Spence in the fold.
Seems like Perkins can play the "star" if needed.
