We all know about the guy from LSU who is probably the best inside guy but who else belongs in the same sentence? We can talk outside guys or pass rushers as well so 4-3 guys can list any smallish DE's if you would like.

Bama doesn't have any depth at inside backer but Mack Wilson and Dylan Moses are both 5 star freaks and will be as good as any inside duo or middle linebacker type nationally.

Outside I don't see any All-SEC type at Bama this year but we have two or three solid guys like Anfernee Jennings, Terrel Lewis and Christian Miller.

Jake Holland will be a beast but who else? Sorry for the football talk with baseball going on but I don't know a thing about the sport other than I hope the hogs win it.

A&M and Arkansas both have a really good backer.

Bama will inevitably have some monster emerge.

Devin White is the best LB in the country.

I think Missouri has a good one too.

I expect Willie Gay to really shine this year. He was great last year as a true freshmen

De'Jon Harris and Dre Greenlaw should be a good duo for us. Unfortunately, we don't have much else at the position lol

Dodson has 104 tackles, 10 TFL, 3 INT, & 8 passes defended last year. He's pretty damn good and should be on the short list for all-conference.

From UGA, Dandre Walker will be a good one to watch this year; had an outstanding statistical season last year despite being behind Lorenzo Carter and Davin Bellamy.

Walter Grant was quietly excellent at OLB his freshman year as well.

Subtle. Very nice.



Deshaun Davis will be the vocal leader of our D and he'll put up a lot of tackles and I could see him having a 2nd team All-SEC type season.

As far as our most talented, Darrell Williams has tons of potential. The NFL will draft him and he'll play Sundays (Deshaun at 5'11" is unfortunately too short to be given much of a shot)


If you count Buck as a LB spot, then Big Kat Bryant and TD Moultry are about to have break out years and wreak havoc on SEC backfields

Yup. More sacks than Devin White last season despite being a backup.

Devin White did have 1/2 more tackles for a loss than Walker. But did we mention that Walker was a backup last season and never started a game?

You don't think that a healthy Jennings has all-sec potential? He was a monster last year when healthy. Hell, I think that Terrel Lewis does as well if he stays healthy.

Dylan Moses. Best in the business. Man ain't not but a linebacker.

Everybody else can decide from there
