safety linbacker hybrid.
I believe this is the defacto 3rd linebacker in our new defense.
That and a nickelback

What’s the article on 247 say about him?

One of Tennessee's linebacker targets is planning to take a closer look at the Vols next month. Class of 2022 linebacker Daejuan Thompson of Whiteville (N.C.) High School told GoVols247 on Wednesday that he's scheduled to travel to Knoxville on June 17 to participate in one of Tennessee's camps.

The Vols gave the 6-foot-3, 190-pound Thompson his first SEC scholarship offer on April 14. But he said he still decided that he wanted to work with first-year Tennessee coach Josh Heupel's staff during one of the Vols' camps rather than simply visiting UT's campus.

"I wanted to see how it was being coached by them," said Thompson, who's ranked by 247Sports as the No. 67 outside linebacker in the 2022 class and the No. 27 junior from the state of North Carolina.

Thompson said he's talking with Tennessee's coaches "at least twice a week," led by linebackers coach Brian Jean-Mary.

After learning of his offer from Tennessee last month, he said he was excited about his possible opportunity with the Vols.

“I was very shocked because it happened so quick,” Thompson said at the time. “I was shaking at the thought of being able to play in the SEC.”

Light for a LB but he has a ton of potential. Could be a really good strong safety. Plays all over his high school team's defense

JRM was light for a linebacker...in high school. But heavier than Curt Magitt.

And I think he was reportedly 210 by Fall camp. Maggit had no problem putting on weight quickly under Lawson fwiw.

He was looking at Rivals

Those services are all over the place. Confident that was what he REPORTED at. First thought I had when he was recruited was that 195 was pretty thin for a DE...because that was the position for which he was being recruited.

The 6'3" 195 pound speed demon from Dwyer High School is ranked as the nation's 12th best outside linebacker by Rivals and is listed as the 198th overall prospect, nationally, in the Rivals250.
