Right now, I think [B]Thompson[/B], [B]Wax[/B] and [B]McDonald[/B] are in the first group with [B]Lowery[/B], [B]Sparrow[/B] and [B]Baily[/B] in the second group.  [B]Roon[/B] (was he in a green jersey?) and [B]Mason[/B] are in the mix somewhere.

At least six guys should play a lot.  Players will rotate to keep them fresh.  RL expects high energy and will be sending guys (LBs and S's) on almost every play.

I would expect the true freshman; [B]Moultrie-Goddard[/B], [B]Jeferey[/B] and [B]Omopariola[/B] to see limited time after the first two weeks and redshirt this season.

And, we have 4 walk-ons: [B]Sugano[/B], [B]Dolan[/B] (special teamer?), [B]Kabula[/B] and [B]Billue[/B] who will likely be on the scout team allowing the others to not miss time with the regular defense in practice.   Yes, walk-ons serve a purpose.

[B]Kahlib Gilmore[/B], 6'4", 225 lbs. a RS-Jr transfer from DII West Florida University is an intriguing prospect.   I don't know much about him.  He has already burned his redshirt year so he's a full go if he can earn playing time somewhere (special teams?).

I expect this defense to be more flexible than in the past with more situational and personnel matchups.   I wouldn't be surprised to see us line up in a 4-2-5 or 3-2-6 depending on the situation.  We played a 4-2-5 for most of the bowl game last year and we ran some 3-2-6 and 4-1-6 in the spring because so many LB's were recovering from off season repair work.
