As expected, RS Sophomore Jerod Fernandez and Sophomore Airius Moore are the starters at linebacker. Fernandez was an honorable mention for CFN’s Freshman All-American team last season. He ranked 2nd on the team in tackles (78), and led the team in tackles per game (6.5). Moore was so good in a reserve role last year, that he forced his way into he starting lineup in 4 of the last 6 games. Moore and Fernandez both played middle linebacker last year, but the coaches moved Moore to weakside linebacker this season to get them both on the field at the same time.
