All right, so now we're looking for linebackers...

Obviously we need a kid out of the portal, but right now we only have 5 linebackers on the roster and that's counting the additions of Whit Weeks and Christian Braithwaite.
That's at least two short of what we've got to have.
I found three kids in the state who haven't signed yet and who might be worth kicking the tires on. I don't know much about any of them, but here's what's out there.
First up: Dickson Agu from Dutchtown. He's 6-1 and 225 and he's a Tulane commitment but didn't sign early.
Apparently he's got outstanding grades and wants to be a surgeon.

Next: Jirrea Johnson from Warren Easton. He's 5-11 and 210 or so.

Finally, Kevon Freeman from Lake Charles College Prep. He's about 6-0 and 215 or so.

I grant you that none of these guys are coming in and starting right away. The question is, can you get depth and/or some special teams play out of any of them?
I kind of like Agu. I'm not sure I wouldn't take a flyer on him.
Looking around the national picture I don't see a whole lot of unsigned linebackers. The ones still available all look really small, like 190 pounds or so. So I don't know if there's a high school recruit out there who's a whole lot better than the in-state options.
And I'm not sure there's anybody in the portal I'd be excited about either.

We would prob dip into portal before signing anyone of these guys. I may be wrong just my opinion

CBK top target should be Demario Tolan. Maybe try and get him to come back/withdraw.

Can't see LSU going after those guys. Maybe they'll get lucky in the spring..

Yep just another of the several holes left to fill on defense

Dutchtown coach told me he was better than patrick queen since he coached queen at Livonia.

Have you guys ever heard of Delvin Whitaker from West Feliciana? He has offers from FSU and Penn State. He is big 6-3 230lbs. Seems like good size for a MLB

I’m a big fan of Derrick Davis Jr after the bowl game. Looks strong and ran hard. Got defense in his blood! Keep Tolan and Davis!

Agu looked very impressive all year. Was all over the field and was always at the ball. He caught my eye a lot at the home games.

I like Agu, but it would be hard to pull a pre-med student from Tulane even if they weren’t coming off their best football year ever

Our Defensive Coordinator coached linebackers in the NFL. Why are so many of our linebackers leaving? And why are we not signing more? Sure wish we had the answer on why linebackers don't want to come here and the ones we have are leaving.
