Strong Side Linebacker
1. pete werner**
2. justin hilliard
Werner returns as does Hilliard so this likely is what it is. However, someone will likely need to slide over to the weak-side with the departure of Malik Harrison. It could be Hilliard, but for now, this is the natural fit.
Middle Linebacker
1. Tuf Borland**
2. dallas gant
Borland returns, and our call is for Baron Browning to slide over to take the weak-side vacancy leaving room for Dallas Gant to plug in here.
Weak Side Linebacker
1. Baron Browning
2. k’vaughan pope
Browning’s experience and athleticism seems to be a perfect option here with the departure of Harrison. Pope was on the two-deep all year and should be a part of things as well.
