Linebacker
- Thread starter TU_BLA
- Start date
We actually reported this on Monday. TU is trying to get a NCAA waiver so he can be immediately eligible.
Hardings transfer is good news. If there is one position we currently need, it would be LB. He immediately provides quality and depth at its LB. The question I have is now is how he will fit into the new system. What defense will we play and will he fit into that mold. This is always a key factor in determining how successful a kid will be!
Chris reported a while back that TU will be installing a 4-2-5 under Bill Young. I think hybrid LB/Safety/Bandit types will excel in this type of defense.
He didn't see a lot of snaps at Auburn (which wasn't actually a great defense last year) so I would be hesitant to say he's a game changer. That said, he probably will add a lot of athletism to the position. I would love to see us bring in a JUCO All-American LB who can play right away. Add a CB or two as well.....
I share the same initial thoughts. I know he started off as a safety there and switched to a LB but still would of liked to see him play a little more than he did. Im not sure you need a JUCO All American to make an immediate impact but a couple of quality JUCO guys infused into this years class would work wonders.
