Do Macklin, Welter and Muncie fit that role? I thought Chavis liked the Shaun Lewis/Corey Nelson types that were 6 foot 205.

With that said, is Mingo going to grow into a Defensive End?

Welter


Recruited as an MLB. I don't think an MLB can only weigh 200 pounds and be effective in the SEC.

Edit: Welter also ran a 4.15 40 in my backyard on my laser timer.

Why? So he can sit on the bench at WDE behind Sam Montgomery for his LSU career?

He'll be a situational rush OLB.

Chavis will know what to do with Maclin. He'll either make him Al Wilson or make him Leonard Little.

he'll only put his hand down if it is a pass situation, potentially to rush the passer or to drop in coverage like Tyson did (not sure if Chavis believes in this..the concept itself is pretty dumb although Saban's Ds did it well)

for a big dude, Mingo has some pretty sick athleticism and coverage skills.. I think he'll be a Will
