Fresno State has had a freshman inside linebacker come in and play just about every year under coach Tim DeRuyter.
Jeff Camilli launched the trend in 2013, then Michael Lazarus and Xavier Ulutu continued it in 2014 and Nela Otukolo last season. Don’t expect that run to end this season, even in a deep group.
Jeffrey Allison, you’re up.
And with two practices in the books, he has made an impression.
He has been phenomenal, exceeded expectations, which is really hard for me.
“We’ve hit it on the head again,” inside linebackers coach Nick Toth said.
