Linebackers next year?

[Wasnt-drunk-didnt-troll]

Welch, Mends, and who? Is that even what we are looking at? I think we are going to be pretty good next year and if we can make this transition work we will be in really good shape. Huge Fan of what we are building on the lines, and secondary.

Hockaday was the first guy off the bench when Jewell initially went out.

Amani Jones will probably get a shot.

I’m hoping one of the younger guys breaks through instead of a senior to be.

The lack of experience will be a problem.

Prolly the reason they offered a Juco LB recently..

Need a stud j.c. guy or two

don't need a stud JUCO [OR TWO]

WLB SR 6'0 227 lbs Mends backup JR 6'0 235 lb Jones
OLB SR 6'1 232 lb Hochaday backup RSSO 6'4 220 lb Nick Nieman
MLB RSSO 6'3 232 lb Welch backup RSFR 6' 225 lb Taylor

it would be nice to get that JUCO LB but he is not a make or break type player, the one I really like is VanSumeren 6'3 225 lbs speed of a TE and the agility that goes with the type of OLB that the coaches look for.

I really like the potential of Djimon Colbert at olb. Seems like a Kirksey photocopy. His experience as a db should make him a good candidate for niemans role as a cover lb

I must have missed the Juco guy. Name?

Edit: Found him https://iowa.rivals.com/news/iowa-offers-juco-lb-will-honas

A good DL will help them dramatically.

Me too. Should have great speed for a olber...high hopes for him.
