Dude they can't force him to study, it's either learn or sit

I tried but I couldn't find any highlights of him in high school. Has anyone actually seen him play as a linebacker? Would love to see him taking heads off

He is a slow learner apparently

I heard in high school he was a very undisciplined player but has loads of talent.I'm assuming he still has trouble learning the defense.I'd rather him learn the plays rather than blow assignments every snap.

Exactly, you can't be out of position in this day and age of college football

may be a depth chart issue...

but had 3 sacks in the spring game, "disruptive" per Dabo's account and a guy who "had to get on the field."
I'm beginning to think Dabo wants him to play but BV may be less comfortably and going w/ the slower but more traditional Shuey. BV made that comment that he lines up wrong half the time, and that he needs to be pointed in the right direction.
My issue is QChristian lines up right and still makes litle to no plays. Corico and Willard have been up and down. Willard can tackle but lacks foot speed.
If he plays and makes mistakes, all the Lateek hype goes away and Lateek can have actual film to fix his shortcomings. Sitting on the bench (never redshirted) is nonsensical.

I've learned that many of Dabo's quotes from the spring game and spring practice may not be to inform the fan base as much as inspire a player or group of players. He uses that pulpit as a motivational tool.
