2016 starting linebackers

dline will be essentially the same.

lbs:

I think Alexander, Riley, Voorhies will be the starters with Riley in the middle.

cbs:

Tolliver and Jackson starters. Tons of options behind them. I would guess Fulton cracks the 2 deep and Paris is 3rd corner.

Safeties:

Jefferson and Adams. Battle still 3rd guy in. Other 2 deep will be up for grabs.

Nickel:

Xavier Lewis/Saivion Smith

Fulton may need a redshirt

DLINE (getting a to of talent here is recruiting. Expect that big Ed, Rashard and Shavar will play alot)

Key
Godchaux
Lacatoure
Neal

LBers (Fowler, Voorheis and Keion will contribute)

Riley
Feist
Alexander

Secondary (Dwyane Thomas, Ed Paris and Savion should see significant PT)

Toliver
Adams
Jefferson
Donte

But hopes Beckwith comes back!!

I think we get at least one to two freshman starting at LB. Likely Feist in the middle to start, just because of experience and he can call get the defensive signals in and get everyone lined up but wouldn't surprise me at all to see all freshman starting at LB by the end of the season. My guess, you would see Divinity and Fowler playing a ton from day 1.

I hate myself for it, but I hope Beckwith gets a late 2nd or 3rd round grade and comes back to improve his stock.

That said, he's going to be a late 1st or early 2nd round pick. He's gone.

Next year's defense could resemble 2011 with the talent we will have on the line and in the secondary. Hopefully the LBs step up and some freshman come in ready to contribute.
