Top 2018 Pac-12 linebackers: USC’s Cameron Smith and Oregon’s Troy Dye the Pac-12’s best

2. Troy Dye Jr. Oregon - Dye’s probably the best NFL prospect of this group as a rangy player who can go from sideline to sideline and disrupt in the backfield. He’s the best player in the conference at stopping plays behind the line of scrimmage.

3. Bobby Okereke Sr. Stanford - Okereke emerged as a defensive playmaker late in 2017 and should build on that in his final season of college ball. He’s big, aggressive and can make plays in the backfield.

4. Peyton Pelleur Sr. Washington State - Pelleur got his senior season back and should return to being one of the nation’s best tacklers.
