per the PiPress:
Q: How about your linebackers?
A: I just don't know how that's all going to play out. We lost Damien (Wilson), and he took most of those snaps for the last two years. Everett (Williams) did start against Iowa and did play well. I think he will have a great opportunity to take that spot. It's behind him (in the depth chart) where I don't know what is going to happen. We have to decide as a staff what we're going to do with Cody Poock. Do we put him in there with Everett, or do we put De'Niro Laster in there with Everett? Who do we put in there and let them compete?
If all else fails, Jack Lynn can go in there and play. I don't anticipate it being a problem, but if it is Jack, he could go in there and play because we still have De'Vondre (Campbell) and then Jon Celestin is a good player and continues to get bigger and has had a great offseason. He could play on the outside.
We have the bodies and kids that are capable of playing. Ray Dixon, a redshirt sophomore, will have an opportunity on the edge. Julian Huff is another kid that has a chance to get into the rotation. We tell the kids every spring when we open up, everything is new and you have to go out there and compete and win your spot back.
