Article on starting Freshman Linebackers

Pretty damn cool and impressive. Think about it. OU has two starting freshman, guy's the were playing Pop Warner last year in Oklahoma, and now they are starting on defense.

Yeah, this isn't something that you normally want, but the past couple of games these guy have played really well, other than being out of place a few times. Playing as well as they are for being true freshman is pretty impressive. Gotta admire the talent.

Freshmen linebackers signify Oklahoma Sooners' evolution - ESPN

NORMAN, Okla. -- At this time last year Jordan Evans was doing it all for Norman (Okla.) North High School. He was returning kicks, playing defensive end and linebacker and generally making plays from sideline to sideline for his high school team.

In a matchup of top-15 teams on Saturday, Evans was a savior for Oklahoma.
Evans stepped in after linebacker Frank Shannon was injured, recording eight tackles and one pass breakup in Oklahoma’s 38-30 win over Texas Tech. Alongside Evans, fellow true freshman Dominique Alexander, who has replaced injured senior Corey Nelson, finished with four tackles and one quarterback hurry.

Impressive indeed...but, still wish like hell that Nelson was in there.
