re: Kendall McCallum -2019

Great depth if he has stayed in football shape, or will get that for next year by coming back this year. Filling and adding a player in a position of need.

We also have the Clemson transfer who started at Clemson (Mike Jones Jr.) and the big beast in the middle who transferred from JC (Navonteque Strong)

Baskerville got his shite together so he is back with the team, and hopefully Damone Clark will be back to his 2019 self where he excelled under Aranda. Also, we have Josh White and

Linebackers on Roster

LB/ODE/Rush end

BJ Ojulari
Phillip Webb
Soni Fonua
Zavier Carter
Desmond Little

Pure LB

Mike Jones Jr.
Damone Clark
Micah Baskerville
N Strong
Josh White
Antoine Sampah
Jared Small (led the team in tackles in spring game)
Greg Penn III
Kendall McCallum

14 total

Other LB on team/Practice Squad guys/Walk ons

Hunter Faust (Jesuit)
Dylan Thompson (Ranchview HS)
Sloan Wright (STM)
Aaron Benfield (E.D. White)

18 total LB, so we can find 3 starters and 3-4 quality back ups in our 4-3 defense

The big key to this year from last is a lot more depth and the new LB coach Blake Baker plus the overall Def having Daronte Jones as DC over Pelini

Talent Galore:

Ojulari and Webb are awesome talents outside/end and Jones, Clark, Baskerville, Strong, Penn III are all talented with others behind them to man the middle and some outside rush sets.

White and Sampah should be almost ready to contribute so I see the LB room as solid compared to what it looked like last year.

And, we have another talent in Devonta Lee if they play him at LB, but he is listed at WR now.
