The dreadful 2014 defense never recovered from the graduation of linebacker Shawn Jackson, but young players like Craig Suits and Petera Wilson look to turn things around. The following is a breakdown of the TU linebacker positions with plenty of insight from Coach Montgomery.

Wilson might be the best athlete on the team. He and Jeremy Smith are a great rush combo off the edges in passing situations, and Wilson is a more natural fit at LB than DE. Both players could be all conference by the end of their careers. It'd be nice to land 1-2 players as highly rated as Wilson was each year.

Not sure what to make of the Linscott and Norman idea.

This is a position of need and Montgomery is addressing it with the 3 LB commits so far.
