Coach Beamer said this year's group of linebackers are 'deeper' and more 'athletic' than in year's past.
During Tuesday's press conference, Gamecocks head coach Shane Beamer took the time to highlight his defense coming out of camp, specifially talking up the linebacker room.
"We're deeper and we're absolutely more athletic than what we were last year," Coach Beamer said about his linebacker room. "They can all rush the passer. They can all run, all cover." "He is poised for a huge year," Coach Beamer talking about his sixth year LB. "He has put himself on the radar of NFL teams. Last year he just gained confidence defensively in what we asked him to do. He's very athletic, can play sideline to sideline, has size, good on special teams. I think he's poised to have a really big year."
"We had a play today in practice where he and Rocket were one on one in a hole. Rocket lowered his shoulder and Debo is going to say the defensive back knocked him off track. I saw the running back lower his shoulder and jolted Debo a little bit, so I certainly let him know about it."
