I think we'll be able to make it through this season with Beckwith at the helm, and next year I know there are some good ones coming out. What exactly does the depth of the LB's look like for the Tigers this year?

Probably. I'm not too worried. I have faith Steele can coach up some hole pluggers and we'll be able to have, at the very least, a decent year at LB

We just picked up Mouton, we have a ton of TE's and at 6'2" 235lbs, he's built like a LB.

What about Key, as well, on the Hybrid DE side? He is a little on the light side as a DE right now, and Steele tends to prefer bigger LBs than Chavis did. Wouldn't be shocked to see him get some early cross training, especially if we play with 3-4 sets on occasions. Steele has also been known to mix and match fronts.

Beckwith, Louis, and Debo will most likely be the starters, with Riley and Garrett providing quality backup. Those 5 LB's will all be playmakers. And yes, it does look like Voorhies might be changing positions for depth. Teuhema will be a key weak side pass rushing DE. Would probably only be a LB in a 3-4 situation.

Yeah, he's short, small, and we don't throw to the TE so he's a candidate to be moved

Need them BOTH and at least 1-2 others. Also due to the depth chart, we will be an attractive choice for a TOP JUCO LB. O and Steele for a full recruiting cycle will make it happen.

Key is 6'4"-6'5" 230 lbs. He can easily add 10-15 lbs by the fall. Plus we have bigger DE's, we want him to be a pass rusher primarily. I think he will be just right. Sione will also be a good OLB-DE guy.

Mouton and Lanard Fournette can play linebacker!

It's definitely an issue going forward, but a great 2016 class, which it looks like it will be, and the position will be solid. I'd rather we didn't depend so much on a class, but it's what we are facing. Just glad we have O and Steele doing the recruiting. Brick and Chavis still here I would be freaking out.
