Gary Patterson’s defense always needs a voice or two on the field to be a veteran presence. This season it sems like there are a handful of guys who could fill that role: Innis Gaines, Jeff Gladney, Julius Lewis, Ross Blacklock, to name a few.
But it appears as if junior linebacker Garret Wallow is also throwing his hat in the ring for that on-field general role.
Being a leader for Patterson’s defense is as much about on-field abilities as it is off-field guidance of the rest of the team.
