Who would like to see Craig Loston move to middle linebacker next year?...I think he'd makea great linebacker...with his hitting ability..he could create turnovers

outside LB maybe
middle no way. hes way too rangy and not big enough

This is a real possibility.

Maybe next year but only as a backup to Minter.

Only if we don't have a better option. If they didn't do it with Chad Jones though, I doubt they do it with him.

Outside more than middle. Sort of small though.

I dunno...his coverage/ball skills seem better than, say, a Coleman or Hatcher.
What's making people think he can't stay at safety?

Loston has made it quite clear that he has no interest in-and will refuse to be-moved from the Safety position to Linebacker.
Might as well forget about it. Won't happen.

I'd rather see Loston at FS and Reid slide down to SS.

My take on Loston, low ball skills, low cover skills, low IQ, very hard hitter.

It's a very interesting topic Teeoff. At first you would think to yourself "Hell No" but then you look at who all we lose at linebacker and start realizing how physical Loston is. But with Taylor leaving, we prolly need him more at Safety.. I think a better question would be: "Kenny Hilliard at LB ?" He was a NASTY linebacker in school. Plus he already has the size. Loston would have to pack on sone pounds. Not to mention the fact that Hilliard is using his Redshirt as a 3rd team fullback. You could always move Hilliard back to running back down the road.

Reid, Loston, Mathieu, Mo, and Simon will be the best DBackfield LSU has ever had... Baleedat

Yeah, let's take the #1 safety in the nation (HS) and move him to LB in the year he's taking a starting role in his natural position. ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconrolleyes.gif)

Isn't that what we do now? Take superstar safety prospects, give them to Moffitt and he makes servicable OLBs out of them?
*cough* Hatcher, *cough* Francois
Having said that - I'm for whatever process of selection,transition and development that gets the best 11 on the field, prepared and in position to make a play. The rest is on the player.

It might happen if we land Landon Collins and he appears ready to start day 1. Haven't seen enough of Loston this year yet but it seems he is doing the same thing as last year, headhunting everyone he sees.

Loston cant weigh more than 210-220.... not sure exactly, but certainly not big enough for the middle... Out side has possibilities, just to get him on the field.. next season it should be him and reid at the safeties, right?????
