Linebackers = A-
Another great position group for UC this season is the linebacker group, Pitts in the hybrid position has been great at generating pressure. Perry Young, Bryan Wright and Jarell White have been great at cleaning up the rest. Wright, Young and White are currently 2nd, 3rd and 4th on the team in tackles. Wright is in the top three in pass breakups to go along with his two sacks. Young is second on the team with two interceptions to go along with his four registered quarterback hits. White leads the team with three forced fumbles.
As you can tell UC has asked this position group to be extremely versatile, you need to prove yourself in coverage, but you also need to be quick enough to get pressure on a blitz, and this is a challenge the group had no problem taking on.
