We don’t need him at inside backer w/ Jackson and Tafisi. He’ll be outside rushing the passer. Interested to see if they plan to start Zion at BUCK now that we have Tuli/Taki/Draco and MN-L inside.
Exactly what I’ve been wondering. Will we? Have enough talent at MIL and WIL so Kaho can bring some heat.

Coach K will be his position coach and we know he handles outside backers (SAM & BUCK). I've seen Ale's weight range from 218-232 on TBS sites.. He's a legit 6'3. If he's closer to 232 once he's back from surgery then given his frame it makes the most sense to bulk him up to 245-250 and bring him off the edge. I think Zion would be better suited as a BUCK than DT. We don't need him in there now.

Signing announcement sizes are legit. He’s 6-1, 218.

Noted. Makes me think he's more of a SAM then. That said he's still got the frame to add good weight while retaining his speed. I've been advocating for a redshirt year and given that he just had shoulder surgery that seems even more likely. Really excited about what he brings to our LB core. Stud.

Yeah I believe he could play up to 240 pounds and keep the same speed and athleticism
