Agreed. I think we have less depth at LB than DE. I also think Baker takes over as the LB general next year with Mingo and Minter being the other 2 starters. I think by Mingo's junior year he can become our Rolando McClain and one of the best LBs ever at LSU.

He's a DE all the way..practiced there in the fall and is working with the second team defense as a speed rusher off the edge..getting no work at LB. Minter will be the new leader of the LBer's..Minter got most of the snaps with the first team yesterday (just because he is being groomed to fill in for Shep. KS is fine)the second team Outside Backers were Jones and Johns.

I think he'll be a defensive end in name only at least for the next year or so. I would be very surprised if his PT doesn't come as what amounts to a rush OLB in passing situations.

If the coaching staff can find a way to stand him up outside of Montgomery on passing downs...

You may have more info then me. I haven't looked at the scrimmage notes yet, but I just have a hard time believing he is going to beat out some of the younger guys at DE to take over. Will he be good enough (I'm talking future too not just this year) to beat out guys like Montgomery, Aghayere, Ferguson, Allen, and Brockers? I see way too much depth there and not enough at LB, but that is me personally.
