I am using the depth chart on HokieSports.com to assign most of the positions. Others I had to take an educated guess on based on size. I will adjust the OP as more information becomes available. Use this thread to talk about the linebackers moving forward this offseason.

I know that Keihn has been mentioned a lot as a. DE, but I hope he sticks at LB. I could se him breaking in behind RVD and Trimble this fall.

I know we field a fast defense but having the largest LB on the roster at 224lbs is a problem to me.

This kills me. Fast LB's are great and all, ILB's in any system in college really need to be playing at 225lb or more to have any hope of fight off the block of an OT, or hell even to be able to tackle a beast 6'2" 230lb RB.
