So much of LB is a mental game. First, just getting used to the speed of the college game. Second, hardwiring in the reads Third, hardwiring in the reactions.  Fourth, learning the techniques and timing on rush schemes. Fifth, learning how your defensive teammates play as a unit. And then there's just the part where he won't be the strongest/fastest/baddest *** on the field anymore.   Maybe he is good enough to start and beat out Debniak/Bergen/Tarpley. But if he can do that, maybe we are in worse trouble than we thought. Now, that commit... Noor Davis. He's just a HS senior but I bet he could come in and beat out Vaughters.
