ASU Positional Preview: Linebackers

After losing nine linebackers to graduation, the NFL Draft or transfer Arizona State is looking to find their next stud in the heart of the defense.

Last year, under Todd Graham, the Sun Devils were the 104thranked defense, allowing an average of 32.8 points per game. Since the Sun Bowl loss to North Carolina State, ASU athletic director, Ray Anderson, completed a major coaching overhaul, bringing in someone new at almost every coaching position.

The first major change? Bringing in former client and NFL head coach, Herm Edwards. Yes, the one who has been out of football for the past 10 years.
