re: This is why no LB's this year will really hurt LSU

No. He played qb in hs. Just like Melvin Jones and beckwith. But he was always looked at as a safety.

Actually Voorhies was always looked as someone who could play multiple positions, and he definitely did play OLB his senior year. He played both ways, had 4000 yards on offense and over 60 tackles on defense, where he played more at OLB than Safety

Because of the strength of his early-season schedule Brown wasn't at liberty to rest Voorhies as much as he would have liked on defense. He played him at both outside linebacker and safety where Voorhies rolled up a season-high 10 tackles in a 20-18 playoff win over Seminary. "Him playing outside linebacker for us and gives you some idea about his toughness and physicality," Brown said. "A lot of those tackles probably came from playing linebacker."
