He can come in as a rotational LB like Cantin

 

[All4SU]

Is he more of a LB/Safety hybrid?

 

[Symphony Steve]

Both he and Price (the RB who is coming here from NM State) appear to have been under-recruited coming out of HS, have vastly exceeded their initial projections, and look to prove themselves on a bigger stage. In other words, they have SERIOUS motivation to prove themselves.

Bring 'em on!

You can see with the transfer portal players that were under recruited now being offered and committing to P5 and G5 schools.

Is he more of a LB/Safety hybrid?

6-2 222

At schools like Ohio State or Bama, they have safeties that size. Here, he's probably a LB.

Isn’t that basically Mikel’s size?

So, yeah - LB here.
It seems like our LB’s are usually in the 220-230’s range, with the occasional outlier around 240.
