LB Corps is very solid:
-Sean Porter (SAM) - led team in sacks last year, very fast and physical, can take up multiple blockers to open lanes for the MIKE.
-Jonathan Stewart (MIKE) - Solid, but not spectacular MIKE LB in the base 4-3. Was forced to play in the Nickel against LA Tech due to Steven Jenkins' suspension and he struggled against small quick TB for the Bulldogs. Regularly makes plays in the passing and running game in the 4-3.
-Steven Jenkins (WILL) - Very fast and physical linebacker who excels at both interior and edge pressure. Sorely missed against LA Tech for his play in the Nickel and in blitz packages. Probably the best physical specimen at LB but sometimes struggles to stay in his lane.

Secondary is all dependent on injuries:
Possible Injuries:
-Deshazor Everett (Shoulder) - our most physical corner at the point of attack and against screens. 2nd best cover corner behind Devante Harris. Has started at Boundary Safety much of the year.
- BS - Steven Campbell (Lingering Concussion Symptoms) - Fastest player in the secondary, but struggled with missed tackles early in the year before being suspended vs. SMU. Has not returned since.
Probable Starters:
-CB - Dustin Harris - Senior who has struggled blowing coverage in the past but has been passable this season this far except against exceptional receivers.
-FS - Steven Terrell - Senior starter who is solid in coverage and has a few picks but struggles tackling larger players. Has improved play lately, though.
-BS - Toney Hurd Jr. - Very smart and physical safety who normally starts at Nickel. Made the game-saving pick at Ole Miss
-CB - Devante Harris or Otis Jacobs - Devante Harris is a physical freshman cover corner who only struggles with PI calls and an occasional missed tackle, while Otis Jacobs is a transfer who is big and physical, but can struggle with 1 on 1 when he lines up too far off of the ball.
-Dime - Floyd Raven - Probably our most physically talented player in the secondary, but struggles at corner due to tentative play and poor understanding of the defense at times. Lines up as an LB in the Dime and plays underneath zone most of the time, where he can cut loose and has help over the top.
