Linebacker Depth

[LittleVol]

It was...

Pili/Herring/Perry OR Telander
Beasley/Carter/Smith

Now it's...

Herring/Perry OR Telander
Beasley/Carter/Smith

Still three deep and substantially better than the last two years

Why do you have Telander in front of Beasley??

Now we have 3 freshmen in 3 deep. Only one upperclassmen .. second starter is a sophomore who played on special teams last year. May be I am panicking for no-reason and everyone will stay healthy .. but it looks very slim now..

Nah you have a valid reason. But don’t act like herring didn’t play at all. He got significant time vs bama and flordia. Wasn’t just a special teams player at all.

I am just basing it off what is listed on his UT sports bio. Says he had 11 tackles last year, most his playing time (and tackles with 3 each) came against Akron and UT Martin, including both sacks against Akron. It comforts me to hear that he played and saw meaningful action against FL and AL.
Thank you.

Thank you.

I think a lot of people are basing it off that our backup options have higher upside then Pili. Time will tell how they do

I don't...those are two different positions I've listed out....some systems call it Mike and Will...I don't know if our staff uses different terminology for it or not
