Aranda going to a 4-2-5 due to lack of linebackers
Posted on 12/18/16 at 7:05 pm to Brunedog
Jacob Phillips, Bryant, Will Ignatius, and K'Lavion Chassion are the main ones to watch.

Willie Gay has to be up there.

Jacob Phillips
Will Ignont
Tyler Taylor
Willie Gay (could be an OLB; kind of a hybrid)

IMHO Phillips and Gay are the best of that bunch. Taylor is the prototypical thumper in the middle that we need. Gay is highly athletic who could play multiple position. Ignont will be hardest among those listed to sign.

what about Josh Clarke (6'3" 225 lbs. Riverdale) and Davion May (6'1" 216 lbs. Hammond), (2 names I got from the DD.com top LA prospects list) if we strike out on everyone? They are the two top ranked LBs in the state of Louisiana after Queen and Allen

Honestly we play that set more often than not due to the frequent 3-wr sets played by so many teams these days. Think how often we had 4LB's on the field this season, not much... With Key as that hybrid OLB/DE I think we will continue to see that type of 4-2-5 set. Think it will be HUGE getting Corey Thompson back, at 222lbs he is that hybrid OLB/S who will help with TE/RB matchups. Believe they will also move Divinity at 234 lbs inside. He could be dynamic with White roaming from sideline to sideline. He has the size and speed to play ILB very well.
While I too think we must add 1-2 more LB's to the mix, we should be very athletic at LB next season...barring of course any injuries. Like this year with Beck, any injury to White would be devastating.
Finish strong!

Everything I've read on those guys suggests they are way down the staff's board.

Linebacker 2 on board; we predict 2 more This is the biggest position need of all at this point. So far, LSU has commitments from in-state outside linebacker Patrick Queen of Livonia and inside linebacker Monty Rice of Madison, Ala. Other linebacker targets include outside linebackers K’Lavon Chaisson of Houston, Texas, and Willie Gay of Starkville, Miss., as well as inside linebacker Jacob Phillips of Nashville, Tenn., who is currently committed to Oklahoma. I understand LSU is looking to the JUCO ranks for other linebackers, too. I feel good about LSU’s chances of landing Chaisson and Gay, and I wouldn’t count out Phillips. On a related note: I hear that LSU freshman linebacker Michael Divinity will be moved from the outside to the inside this spring, giving LSU at least four inside linebackers counting Devin White, Donnie Alexander and soon-to-be signee Monty Rice.

He isn't an ILB is he? Listed as OLB and He's 6'4" 235.

either Allen or Moses would have ended up at ILB at LSU just due to need. Not sure where they are projected at Bama. I believe both are listed as OLB's by 247

Thompson could play ILB (if he gets another year) as well and what about Voories? Is he really a senior this year and gone? Unbelieveable that he was never red shirted (unless he was)

Chaisson is considered a strong Texas lean at this point, though I think he's visiting LSU in January.
Voorhies is a junior. He has one more year left to play. Aranda mentioned him recently as a guy who could factor into the ILB rotation for next season.
