Linebacker
SAM/NICKEL: Mike Jones Jr.
- Trenton Simpson
MIKE: James Skalski
WILL- Baylon Spector
- Jake Venables
- Lavonta Bentley or Keith Maguire
The Tigers have plenty of talent at the linebacker position, but replacing Isaiah Simmons and Chad Smith won’t be easy.
Look for Jake Venables to challenge in competition and for Mike Jones Jr. to emerge as the obvious choice to fill Simmons’ old role.
