Are they not upper classmen? What's your point here? Riley and Thompson are seniors, albeit Thompson just got moved to LB himself. Alexander and Voorhies are juniors. I think it's always impressive when a freshman can come in and bump off not 1 but several upper classmen who could be competing for the same spot. I thought for sure Riley would start opposite of Beckwith this season considering the time he's put in and he's always looked capable.


None of those guys (i.e. Alexander, Riley, Voorhies) are big enough. They're all around 215 lbs. How are they going to play the middle and not get pushed around? That's why Bama is so good - their guys do not get run over by linemen. That's been our biggest problem against the running teams like Bama and Arky. With D. White, first time we've had two big MLB's that can play in a while.

I don't get the Riley proponents here.
Maybe I've missed something, but has he shown the ability to be an SEC starter for a championship quality defense?

Riley is 6'0 230, he's big enough

Thompson is also 230 or pushing that
