Xavier Atkins is the next man up at linebacker per BK

Is West Weeks' injury way worse than originally thought?

No. Kelly said he's playing Saturday

I am excited to see Atkins play. I was wondering what the pecking order of the 3 freshmen ILBers was and it seems Atkins is top of the group.

Man I like to see this, X playing, not HP getting hurt. I think Atkins is gonna be a baller

Don’t forget about Cobbins… he could end up the best of all of them, honestly

Covina has some Ojulari to him, I think he ultimately moves down to that Jack backer position as a stand up pass rusher. He’s an athletic freak

No he specifically mentioned when they went to 3 LBs West would be Mike, Penn would shift to Will and Whit would be Sam. Then he said Atkins would be next up at Will.

Cobbins is projected as an edge even though he's very light. Maybe he moves to a more traditional LB role. We'll see

Misleading post

BK said if they play with 3 linebackers, both Weeks brothers would be starting with Penn.

If they use 2 linebackers, Whit and Penn would play linebacker with Major Burns at Star.

Atkins will be a backup
