Junior linebacker. From Ridgeland, Mississippi.
6-1, 225 pounds.
Seems interesting.

Any LB that has experience is worth a look. We are Charmin-thin at LB.

Nice find.
I wonder if he can immediately transfer. I guess he can with freeze leaving.
Says they got him from juco. I would love this pickup.

Another potential option hit the portal today:
247 Article on Jerry Roberts
Excerpt:
"Roberts started all 12 games at MIKE linebacker and was second on the team with 78 total tackles. He was also fourth on the team with 34 solo tackles and first on the team with 44 assisted tackles."
He is a one and done having being granted a 6th year medical waiver in addition to his un-tolled Covid year. 25 years old. Some on here may not like the option since he was a 2 star out of high school in 2017. But, he is a multi-year starter.

No way he's following his old coach to Auburn, right?

I would think that's likely, but I didn't find much of anything about it.
Liberty has had several other kids leave who went elsewhere though. Maybe Freeze isn't universally liked?
