I would hope that they really like this kid because I figured we would be able to pull a much more highly regarded LB if we wanted one, we’re basically LBU

He’s a stop gap for a year or 2 where we need depth. If one of Godfrey (who I believe is starting outside) or Brown pop off he won’t slow down their development. Fulton is SR who has only played ST. This kid will also help on ST.

Not saying he’s great or that we should expect big things but he’s decent at a position of need if he comes in.

We haven’t been linked with any edge rushers so I assume the staff feels Weaver is coming back and they are happy with Wade, Fearby, and Matthew’s development. At this point you either play these kids somewhat early or you lose them to the portal.

Still two weeks left for portal activity and players are going in every day. Guess it is a question should you use your best athletes on special teams or use a scholly for a career special teams player? Just hope we don't lose a top player in the portal that might want to come here because of doing it this way.

I think I read somewhere that Godfrey may be projected to OLB, so maybe this kid could add depth at ILB.

With both starting ILBs projected to return, it may be tough to convince an upper class men who is starter level impact player to transfer in.
