With graduation, and the NFL draft, this UCLA Football team will lose 153 total tackles from it’s linebacking corps. That’s a hefty number no matter how you look at it. However closer inspection shows us that 119 of those tackles belong to NFL Draft prospect Jayon Brown.
So while the Bruins will have to replace four contributors among that group, only Brown was a consistent starter. Good news is that the Bruins have a logjam of very talented linebackers on the roster.
The bad news is almost all of them are inexperienced.
Who’s Gone: Jayon Brown, Deon Hollins, Isaako Savaiinaea, Cameron Judge
Who’s New: Rahyme Johnson, Mique Juarez
BreakDown:
If I had to say where the weakness of this defense is I would have to say it is the linebacking corps.
