An almost entirely new LB room for '26?

skyman said:
Busch film looks good, seems to have good ready size and closing speed in box but I dont think since Mario been here we have gotten a young LB ready for immediate PT, when is last time we had a true freshman LB start out gate? Quarterman crew out of necessity?

Need to hit portal HARD but we havent done well at that spot, might have to tamper big time, Cal LB #0 wanna come across country hopefully?

I trust Heatherman's LB evals in the portal.

I'm more concerned with replacing Bain and Mesidor on the Edge. Edge Rushers like that are **** near impossible to find in the portal. Miami being able to get pressure with 4 really made this defense go.
 
Not sure I agree with all the doom and gloom.

Boner recorded 56 tackles in 2024 at NC State. He and Aguirre are each entering year 4 and we should feel pretty comfortable penciling them in as starters imo.

If Bryant can slim down and make the transition to LB that would give us 3 veterans with lots of experience, not including another year 4 guy in Washington who had earned some PT in 2024.

Wiley and Marcelin played specials and should be ready to roll this spring. Pruitt is there to seemingly play whatever role is asked of him although he remains very slender.

If the three newbs are here for the spring then that's 10 LBs fighting for 2 spots a few months from now.
