TOLEDO, Ohio – Toledo lost both starting linebackers from 2019 – Jordan Fisher, DeDarallo Blue – but that doesn't mean the Rockets will be inexperienced in the middle of the defense. Head Coach Jason Candle is counting on some veterans and a key transfer to help make big improvements in this vital area of the defense.

Juniors Daniel Bolden (39 tackles in 2019), Dyontae Johnson and AJ Crider are the leading candidates to play at linebacker, along with Jonathan Jones, a graduate transfer from Notre Dame.
