I Am little Nervous About Our LB's

[GCF Staff Support]

Here is the spring practice rooster for our LB and Spurs:

Rainey 6'3" 228
Holloman 6'2" 215
Cooper 6'2" 215
Roberts 6'1" 215
Lewis 6'0" 221

Diggs 6'0" 197
Golightly 5'10" 179

These guys look way undersized to me. Last year our LB averaged at least 235, and Holloman played around +230 at Spur. These guys are really going to have a hard time getting off OL blocks. The bigger SEC teams will just run right at us. I've heard we will be faster and more athletic, well we better be. Maybe they can all add 10 lbs or so before the season, but I was shocked when I saw this.....and then add the inexperience factor. I hope we can win the time of possession battle every week.

I remember thinking a lot last year that our LB's were too slow and maybe were even too big. I don't think that 10 lb's will make that big of a difference in the run game but could make a big difference in coverage. just my opinion though. Inexperience will be huge

The lack of experience is always bad, true
