The linebacker quintet

Why a couple of these guys are ranked this low is actually a compliment to the depth of their position group. Dedrick Young stepped right in as a freshman and showed he can play. Chris Weber showed there's no drop-off last year when he filled in for Banderas.

And Marcus Newby has become trusted, a big asset in pass coverage. Linebackers coach Trent Bray has said he feels like he has five starters. Think about that. Then think about where this position group was last year. That's a nice year of work.
