For the 2010 matches, Tanner Brock is being groomed to play starter at outside linebacker. Coach Patterson is keeping an eye on his progress. He did wonderful last season inside particular teams but whether he will do as well in this new job remains to be observed. Judging from his intense playing style, his chances are great.
The spot vacated by Daryl Washington who has enlisted using the Arizona Cardinals has been given to sophomore Greg Burks. The forceful hits he made on opponent kick returners in 2009 is witnessed by the coach as evidence that he is good for his current assignment.
A talented freshman linebacker, Marcus Mallet may possibly considered for active play in the course of this year’s video games. His past performance exhibits he needs just a bit more of experience before he can perform on par with his older staff mates.
Another capable linebacker, Kris Gardner, is in for plenty of action in this year’s video games.
