Tuscaloosa, AL • 9. Inside Linebackers • Competing: Kendrick Blackshire (Jr.), Deontae Lawson (So.), Jihaad Campbell (So.), Shawn Murphy (RS Fr.), Ian Jackson (So.), Justin Jefferson (Jr.), Trezmen Marshall (Sr.), Kyle Flood Jr. (Sr.), Bennett Whisenhunt (Sr.), Jordan Smith (Sr.) Departed: Jaylen Moody, Henry To’o To’o Why We’re Optimistic: Deontae Lawson looks like a star, and there is a frightful level of competition for the other ILB spot. Why We’re Pessimistic: MLB could wind up in the hands of a smaller LB, which didn’t work at times during the Henry To’o To’o years. Prediction: Lawson and Marshall start, with Blackshire and Jefferson the primary backups. Story Here
