Who starts and any other LB prospects (JC maybe) on the horizon? We just seem short from a number standpoint, not to mention experience.

I don't really know about their ability level, they were as touted as Wright and White out of high school I suppose. Our D-line will be good as well so that will help the transition. We may go the JUCO route and I wouldn't mind that at all, Gulf Coast has many prospects to choose from. C.J. has the look of an instant impact guy. I don't see any other position changes from DE to LB or anything right now. </p>

I would much rather Hughes play than Lawrence, but with Lawrence getting decent PT this year, he would have to be the front runner for one of the OLB positions going into camp next year. However, I think Bohanna, Hughes, and some mention of Matt Wells at OLBwill give a good run at it. We will obviously be young at LB, but we certainly aren't void of talent. That is a stout core of LB's we've accrued over the past 2 years, and I can't wait to see how those guys look in 2 years.

You didn't list Brandon Wilson. I think he originally was a walk-on, but hasn't he been our primary backup at MLB this year?
