This early signing period was full of surprises for Ole Miss football recruiting. While we were seeing defensive lineman after defensive lineman being targeted, we hadn’t seen many other positions focused on. Particularly on the defensive side of the ball. Of course, then the bottom fell out of line-backer heaven. And when it rains it pours.
Over the past few classes we hadn’t seen a lot of highly touted LBs being hard-targeted. Sure we had picked up one or two along the way but this class is very different. There are a number of really talented line-backers in this class who will find playing time immediately.
