I am listing all the LB's we will have next year and the 4-5 guys who I think will be in the rotation, not counting possible commits for next year:
1) Devin White - 6'1" 255 lbs. 4.5(40)
2) Michael Divinity - 6'2" 235 lbs. 4.4-4.5(40)
3) Rahssan(Ray) Thornton - 6'3" 225 lbs. 4.4-4.5(40)
4) Layton Garrett - 6'3" 250 lbs. 4.6(40) Real Mean/Nasty streak on field.
5) Devin Voorhies - 6'2" 225 lbs. 4.5(40)
6) Donnie Alexander - 6'1" 215 lbs. 4.5(40)
Listed at other positions, but possible candidates for one of the MLB spots:
1) Sci Martin - 6'4" 240 lbs. 4.5-4.6(40) Will Add Muscle
2) Andre Anthony - 6'5" 220 lbs. 4.4-4.5(40) Will Add Muscle
Here is my list of Starters and Rotations:
Devin White - Starter MLB -> Layton Garrett/Sci Martin(Rotation)
M. Divinity - Starter MLB -> Ray Thornton/Andre Anthony(Rotation)
But, Devin Voorhies and Donnie Alexander are seasoned veterans and would be good on blitz's, but in order to plug the Middle against a strong offensive line:
Devin White and M. Divinity, but with Layton Garrett getting into such great shape, he would be another big LB with a high football IQ next to Devin White would be interesting. I think that Divinity and Thornton would make a great pair. With D. Voorhies and D. Alexander could play a 5th LB spot kind of like our 5 DB package since they are kind of hybrid LB/SS guys.
Just an opinion, but I think we have excellent LB's ready to go.

Agreed, and at 234 lbs they should slide Divinity to ILB with White. Would be an ATH duo for the next 2-3 yrs.

Don't forget about Corey Thompson! Who has been granted another year of eligibility...I see him playing quite a bit next year if he stays healthy

Pretty sure sci martin and Andre Anthony will be edge rushers and OLB's. Both those kids have some ridiculous fast twitch explosions off the ball.

It's mostly inside where we could use a lot more depth. We have talent there, especially in White. We just need more bodies.
If we are going spread, I could definitely see guys like Mouton and Ducre looking at a switch. That, or a transfer. Moore will likely move to H-Back/TE because of his blocking ability and proven skills as a receiver. Mouton could definitely do this as well, but it just seems there are going to be a LOT fewer snaps for these guys in a spread offense. We shall see.

WE have 8-10 guys that need to transfer out to make room for impact players in this class...jmho

crazy we are running a 3-4 and don't have one single LB commitment.

You'd think they would be lining up after seeing Beckwith in Aranda's defense.

While your list looks good with measureables, you do realize that only 1 or 2 ( not sure about Alexander or Voorhies) of those guys was recruited as a ILB. Cupboard is bare there. D white and Garret are prototypical ILB size but one was a RB recruit and the other a walk-on.

Obviously Dylan Moses wasn't the only option in this class. Hopefully (fingers and toes crossed) O and co can flip him back.
Even if everything goes as you suggest, we need 3 or 4 linebackers in this class - even getting 2 should be considered a failure - hell if we got 2 that will be as good as Beckwith and Riley in 3 or 4 years, that's just treading water.
And we damned sure can't play a 3 man front and only get 1 or 2 linebackers in a recruiting class.

I think Queen ends up a safety. Don't see him getting bigger than 235 or so. Dude has talent though.
