It's mind-boggling how much young talent we have at LB, but from this list, I'm not exactly sure which ones are Middle Linebackers, and which are Outside Linebackers. Here is what I know for sure....

MLB
Shaun Dion Hamilton
Ben Davis

OLB
Rashaan Evans
Mack Wilson

Not Sure
Anfernee Jennings
Christian Miller
Terrell Hall
Mekhi Brown
Josh McMillon
Dylan Moses
Vandarius Cowan
Markail Benton

Can someone copy and paste my list above and put the guys in the not sure section where they belong. Thanks!

Piggy back on that. The whole defense, not the rolltidebama stuff. Y'alls opinion is better IMO.

I'm not so sure about Mack at OLB. I've seen him at ILB when the 3s come in.

Evans will more than likely be on the inside with SDH next season, he played well when SDH went out, other than a few snafu's here and there. McMillion and Moses I see going to ILB, Moses will need to beef up just a bit. Also with the ferocity I saw from his this past season, I see Mack Wilson at ILB as well.

Cowan and Benton I could see both of them going the Evans route, start at OLB/edge rusher and whichever one shows the want, would move to ILB and work on being our next "alpha dog".

Isn't that what he played in whatever high school all star game he played in?

Surely Davis will see time on the field next season. Sensible to have him redshirt with the position being upperclassman heavy, but surely he will be SDH replacement after next season as Ragland was to Mosley, Foster was to Ragland and SDH to Foster.

Needless to say LB's covered for years to come!

I honestly think and hope Evans slides back out to rush the passer. Wilson is an inside guy as is Moses and Davis.

After watching Evans at MLB when SDH got hurt, I like him there. He and Foster were our best defenders against Clemson. Think he stays inside with SDH and I think Miller and Jennings will get first shot at OLB. Think Davis and Wilson will get a lot of reps though...
