Gotta say, LB is a big concern for me. Fisher is great. Jones is solid. After that, I am not sure what we have. Hardy played a little. Turner very little. And I don't see anyone we are courting from the portal, unless I missed it.
The only player I heard Cig mention this year who didn't play a lot but was impressive in practice was Quentin Clark. He never mentions you guys from practice. That was the only one.We have two ready to step in, Hardy & Jones. Quentin Clark may also get a look.
After Ohio State and Notre Dame it's pretty clear that they need to find speed in the portal.Hardy will log lots of minutes. He flashed excellent potential in an obviously limited role this year.
They do need to bring in a LB that has put production on film/paper.....That said, this defense looks like it could be one of the top units in the entire country.
All year....even teams they defeated gave them problems getting speed outside the tackles.After Ohio State and Notre Dame it's pretty clear that they need to find speed in the portal.
