be clearing out a lot of the graduating seniors? I hope so. No graduating senior LB's should come back with the possible exception of Marist Liafau as he has the athleticism to belong with the younger group and seems to be starting to get it.
We currently have: Kollie, Sneed, Tuihalamaka that are all on roster and studs. Kollie and Tuihalamaka are ready to play right now. We also have Jordan Botelho and Nolan Ziegler. They all have far more athleticism than the graduating seniors. We can't sit them to play these same guys again next year.
We also have Drayk Bowen, Preston Zinter and Jaiden Ausberry coming in next year and they too have a far higher level of athleticism. The way we are recruiting, we will probably bring in another 3-4 in 2024 that are super talented and athletic as well.
The young talent needs to play because it's better talent. This applies to many position groups, not just the LB corps in my opinion. Freeman needs to transition the roster to one that is of the higher level of athleticism and talent the younger group possesses and a part of that is thanking and wishing the graduating seniors well on their way.
