Position Rating: C+
Starters: Rashad Bobino, Roddrick Muckelroy, Sergio Kindle
Reserves: Jared Norton, Keenan Robinson, Emmanuel Acho
Linebacker has been a position of much consternation for the Longhorns since Derrick Johnson left the 40 Acres. A good way to ruin a perfectly good time last season was to bring up linebacker play around a bunch of Texas fans.
This year might be different as there are guys all over the depth chart that have fans excited.
If I was grading purely on potential this group would be much higher. Bobino is the only player we truly know what he’s capable of, but the talent is most definitely there and if Muck and Kindle come on like they should this unit could actually be a team strength by mid season.

I understand what you're saying about potential but I think you have to give them at least a little credit for their talent. With any luck Bobino will be the fourth best linebacker this year. That's a lot of upside to discount so much.

They get a B-B+ in my opinion. While depth is young, our starting 3 or 4 will be solid if not amazing.

I think (hope?) they'll get there Dino but as far as preseason I couldn't go any higher. I'm super-excited to see these guys play though and it's certainly been a long time since I could say that.
