Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Replacing OLB and Buck, Littleton and Feeney.

The more I hear about Camilo Eifler and Brandon Wellington (and watch their film), the more confident I am that one of them will challenge for one of these two positions next year.

Both have fantastic closing speed, can play in space, and hit with anger.

Just hope that Justiss Warren, Potoa'e and others don't force Keiatkowski to rely on Wellington and Eifler so early.

    Bartlett should replace Littleton. BBK would be good at olb but I'm fine with him staying at mlb if it happens. Benning P at BUCK is my hope. Mathis is not great out in space. Sterk at 6'4" 240 and can run may happen as well. He's raw still though.

    Is Rapp Culture for sure a safety?

    Yes on Rapp. Thumper safety, good speed. I would like to see Joyner moved to safety. 10.6 100 and great hitter. He will be great at corner to though.

    How is Bartlett's explosiveness and closing speed? I haven't really seen him make a play in space.

    He has looked good in space on special teams, such as getting a key block on Pettis' PR for TD against BSU.

    Is Joyner getting a medical redshirt?

    Just like we saw this year, I think the BUCK will be filled by a starter from another position, much like we saw Feeney take over the position after Kikaha left.

    I think Victor or Bierria could transition over to the BUCK position next season given how well they excelled at LB this year and with the progress shown by BBK.

    The BUCK position requires the most athletic and talented player on the defense since it is required to do everything. And since the BUCK is involved in everything, many of these defensive schemes are designed around it. So like Kawasaki did in his first year and in his second, I can see one of our LBs transitioning over to BUCK rather than handing it over to a freshman or non-starter.
