quote:

You mentioned Devin White. He came in as a running back and linebacker, so he's on the defensive side?

ARANDA: "I don't know what role he would have running back-wise. As long as I've been here, he's been with the linebackers. His highlight film is awfully impressive both ways. There's a role there. Because of the depth we talked about and the physicality and instinct he brings, what a great opportunity at linebacker and he's embraced it. He's come up here quite a bit on his own. Very inquisitive, a bright guy. He can really make a statement this spring.

Play a ton at ILB as a freshman, or wait until your sophomore/junior year to get carries at RB. Seems like a pretty easy decision to me.

Maybe he can do a Myles Jack and get some goal line carries when Fournette is gone.

Devin wants some early playing time and is smart enough to determine playing LB is the way to accomplish that.

Yes, glad we aren't wasting him at RB. Should be on the field immediately instead of playing 4th/5th string at RB and backup or 3rd/4th string behind Guice next year.

Good, he needed to be. Probably helps Jordan-Swilling recruitment too.

YES!

This is the right move for him and the team. I bet he still gets a carry here and there to keep him happy.

If he totally buys in to playing lb he has the talent to be a Ray Lewis type of player.
