Seems like this would be a position of need for the upcoming recruiting cycle.

Biggest targets are borderline five star Tre Lamar (we lead) and five star Rashaun Smith (in good shape but at IMG now) .
There is an instate lb named Hill we really like as well.

Rahshaun smith going to IMG sorta worries me it's normally a factory for the Florida schools.

Historically it has been but luckily for us we're in deep with a bunch of 2016 IMG prospects. TJ Chase, Saivion Smith, Rahshaun Smith are all players we have an excellent shot it and may be leading for. There may be a couple others but those are the ones I remember off the top of my head

I don't think you can say LB is truly a position of need

We normally only play 2 LBs at a time anyway because the Nickle/SAM plays a ton. Plus, we have like 5 LBs that are either Freshman or Redshirt Freshman- Rogers, Register, Joseph, J. Williams, C. Smith (actually it's 7 if you include the Davis Twins). O'Daniel's just a Redshirt Sophmore. IMO we don't need many in 2016 at all. Maybe 1. Two at the most.
