Linebackers
#1 — Chris Cole, LB, Georgia (6'3", 235 lbs)
#2 — Sammy Brown, LB, Clemson (6'2", 235 lbs)
9/5 - (LSU) - Brown had an average game. He was in on 10 tackles, 6 of them being solo stops. However, this gaudy stat line was more about LSU always having the ball. Brown didn't always make the cleanest reads, nor did he look real comfortable scraping across the LOS to make plays laterally on the ball.
#3 — Arion Carter, LB, Tennessee (6'1", 238 lbs)
#4 — Kyngston Viliamu-Asa, LB, Notre Dame (6'3", 231 lbs)
9/6 - (Wisconsin) - DNP
#5 — Rasheem Biles, LB, Texas (6'1", 225 lbs)
9/12 - (Ohio State) - Biles had some good reads and showed plus athleticism in space, but his lack of size was evident a few times when attempting to take on blocks. He was in on 8 tackles, had 6 solo stops.
#6 — Raylen Wilson, LB, Georgia (6'1", 235 lbs)
#7 — Whit Weeks, LB, LSU (6'2", 228 lbs)
9/5 - (LSU) - Weeks had a solid game. He played assignment football and was very good sticking to his responsibilities. He shot gaps well and flashed in the backfield. He was in on 6 tackles, had 1.5 TFLs.
9/19 - (Ole Miss) - Weeks had a very good game. Aside from not being able to keep up with a WR on a crosser, he was solid in coverage and great vs. the run. He had 8 tackles, 1 TFL, swarmed the ball all game.
#8 — Tony Rojas, LB, Penn State (6'2", 236 lbs)
#9 — Myles Graham, LB, Florida (6'1", 228 lbs)
#10 — TJ Dottery, LB, LSU (6'2", 232 lbs)
9/5 - (LSU) - Dottery was a nice surprise. He was around the ball often, did a good job diagnosing plays and closed on the ball. He had 5 tackles, .5 TFLs, and looked like he'll be a cog for this team.
9/19 - (Ole Miss) - Dottery had a good game. He diagnosed plays well and was often around the ball. He was in on 5 tackles, was a forceful presence in flashes.

#17 — Owen Heinecke, LB, Oklahoma (6'1", 230 lbs)
9/12 - (Michigan) - Heinecke had a solid game. He paced his squad with 9 tackles, asserted himself well after Kip Lewis left with an injury. He was good against the run, showed well in diagnosing plays and closing on the ball.

#20 — Isaiah Jones, LB, Indiana (6'2", 225 lbs)
#21 — Drayke Bowen, LB, Notre Dame (6'2", 238 lbs)
9/6 - (Wisconsin) - Bowen had a solid game. He manned his defense well and paced them with 9 stops. He was good to recognize the run and held his gap/lane assignments in check. He didn't flash in any one regard, but was tough.
#22 — Suntarine Perkins, LB, Ole Miss (6'1", 215 lbs)
9/19 - (LSU) - Perkins had a solid game, showed off his ability to play and at the LOS. He did look very much like a tweener, not sure he'll find a role in the NFL.
