Following the 2014 season, the Hoos lost all 3 starting LBs (Henry Coley, DaQuan Romero and Max Valles). Because of that, and a general lack of depth at LB, it was assumed that at least one true freshman LB would play last year, which saw a handful of talented LBs in that incoming recruiting class. This included C.J. Stalker, Jahvoni Simmons and Dominic Sheppard, who were considered the 3 most likely to play early. Stalker, having enrolled in January in order to join spring practice, was perhaps the most likely to see action.
