He will easily gain 20 lbs over the next three years. If he is here for four years I would put the over under n his weight at 235.
I have no doubt he will....I am just worried about this year. Like I said we have an amazing pass rushing team which will help with the young corners but if we cant stop the run its not gonna matter. We have a relatively small but VERY fast defense...I just want some beef at LB to stuff the run up the middle. This team is built to crush teams like Oregon but Bama has potentially 3 first rounders on their offensive line and I am scared they are gonna be able to shove it down our throat unless we get size.

We seemed to do ok against the run last year.

Warmack isnt going round 1 and they didnt shove it down our throat at all last yr with Trent R. Plus, our front 7 is better now with guys like freak, ego, and Rasco with another yr of development. Size, speed, and technique have to be considered. Technique over size all day long. Don't let Tahj Jones or any other LB size fool you. Tahj actually had his best games vs bama.

We've held Bama well below their average rushing the last few times. We stop the run with speedy guys swarming to the football, they use big defenders to occupy blockers. Different systems, but both work. Hightower is probably a DE in our system, Upshaw definitely is. Apples to Oranges

We have as much size at LB as we had last year, and we dominated everyone's running game. No one is going to shove it down LSU's throat. Any running success our opponents have will be due to blocking schemes that catch as leaning.
