Linebacker Corps Getting High Praise

In the latest Phil Steele’s College Preview, there are a few highlights for Virginia Tech Hokie fans. I like how Steele breaks down position groups nationally, and the LB corps landed at the number nine spot. He points out, “This year the unit remains intact and 5 have starting experience.”

Steele is projecting the starters like this: Andrew Motuapuaka (MLB), Tremaine Edmunds (OLB), Mook Reynolds (WHIP). That alone is a pretty impressive crew. Factor in Deon Newsome, Sean Huelskamp, Tavante Beckett, and some other youngsters, and the Hokies are truly building quality depth.

Edmunds is the biggest physical specimen.
