Over the past four years, Texas Tech has had both Dakota Allen and Jordyn Brooks taken in the NFL draft at the inside linebacker position. This position has become one of the staples of the Red Raiders football team and is looking just like that this year. Krishon Merriweather returns after leading the team in tackles last year and is looking to help this new defense get ready with his leadership and presence on the field.
Merriweather does everything right on the field. He was on the field a lot last year due to his ability to play the pass just as good as he does the run, which was a scarcity for the Tech linebackers.
