re: Besides the two freshmen linebackers, what true freshmen will get significant pt

Drake Davis is a Dwayne Bowe type of athlete, but his biggest flaw right now is he isn't a natural pass catcher. Drops will absolutely kill a team in this offense. If he can get his focus down and really learn how to play the position, he'll be a star.

I agree wholeheartedly. Although, I think Davis has superior straight-line speed when comparing him to Bowe. I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he is given the opportunity to field kickoffs at some point, à la Julio Jones at Alabama.

Dee Anderson didn't come in as heralded because he was kicked off his high school team his senior season, but he looks to be a stud as well.

---

The fact that Anderson has managed to perform at such a high level despite not playing last fall is a testament to his superior talent. Much like Divinity, his arrival in the spring puts him head and shoulders above several players vying for playing time at his position group. He is a smooth strider who can stretch the field but also provide a big target for intermediate routes. Barring any injuries or unforeseen circumstances, my guess is that he will be starting opposite of D.J. Chark going into the 2017 season.

IMO, Divinity is a carbon copy of Kwon Alexander at LB. He's a perfect compliment to Beckwith, RIley, and Key and I believe he will quickly become a fan favorite.

I agree 100%. And honestly, he might be better in pass coverage in this stage of his development.

People are wowed by Devin White's immense size as a true freshman, but Divinity is already playing north of 230. Meanwhile, Alexander came into the 2012 fall camp at only 215. In this scheme in particular, that extra 15 pounds should aid Divinity immensely.
