Does he play inside for more depth where we’re thin or outside in the new defense?
Pretty sure he's playing inside. The slot/hybrid (Husky?) position would be the other possibility since he's kind of in between safety and LB weight and runs like a safety. He's not a big LB and the new defense doesn't use small outside linebackers if I understand correctly.
Money well spent. This was the most important position to add a good player or two, aside from quarterback.

In the new 4-2-5 defense the 5th DB which has been a smaller nickel (Budda, Molden, Bookie) in the PK/JL defense is replaced by the bigger "Husky" position which is more of a safety/WLB hybrid. Shaq would have been perfect for this role.
For this upcoming season, It's not clear to me if Bright and the JC transfer Demario King will play Husky or MLB. FWIW, King is listed as a LB on the GoHuskies roster while Dom (who's been rumored to be in the Husky role too) is still listed as a DB.

Dom/Cov/Asa battle at husky. Dom will win that. Cov to safety.

I figured Cov would play outside corner. Here's my best guess at the 2 deeps on defense:

Good. I wish our guys had enough balls to square up with a teammate. Our guys are more likely to fight about their feminist studies classes than the actual game. Bring me more guys who want to throw down, I'd rather lose with some gangsters than pussy softies we had the last 2 years.

I still can't believe we just got a LB with sideline-to-sideline speed.
Runs 4.5 apparently

I'm not sure if the base 4 man front will consist of 2 DL and 2 EDGE players or 3 and 1. If it's 2 and 2 then Savell could be in the rotation.
