[Brett Vito]

MGB: UNT lost two key seniors, but has some talented and athletic players ready to step in

Linebackers are my biggest concern going into the season.    However, it didn't seem that high on NT's recruiting priorities, so they must be fairly confident in their returning players.    I really like Wheeler and Garner, but there is not a lot of depth.   Wheeler seemed to be impacted by the Florida bs, and seemed to tail off during the season.  Garner was as good as the starters last year and should have a big season.   A few injuries and this could be a real problem position.

Not too worried about this year's starters and the 2-deep is serviceable, I think.

 

But seems like a lot of people will graduate this year and might be thin after that.

LB should be a priority for the 2018 class. Graduation is going to hurt us. Who knows, maybe we will have a late qualifier like Jenkins come play for us.
