In-State LB Logan Klemp Adds Iowa, Commits to Hawkeyes
- Thread starter RobHowe
- Start date
Not making a prediction, but there's a ton of similarities to Jewell with this kid. Both local players who led their teams in rushing and defensive stops, with offers from UNI, UND, and SDSU. Even similarly sized and both projected as OLBs by recruiting services, offered late with their lead recruiter being, you guessed it, Reese Morgan. Spooky.

Is it just me or does it seem we will have linebackers playing every position three years from now. My god...how many can you add. Talk about playing the odds here.

Most are walkons.

More like a 4-5-2.

This is not a good looking class for lb in the future. Lots of misses
Maybe, but I don't think the cupboard is quite bare. We went LB heavy in '16, a lot of whom are already popping up on the depth chart (Jones, Welch, and the younger Niemann come to mind), and we're in early on a lot of good prospects for next season. I wouldn't say it's quite time to worry.

It's easy to pop up on the depth chart when all the starters leave
Well, duh, that's how college football works. I'm saying they're jumping over older players. Hockaday was supposed to be the heir apparent at MLB before Welch supplanted him, and Jones is beating out Mends atm, who is widely regarded as a terrific athlete. Both of those guys have been on the depth chart all season.
Oh no, not at all. The time to worry will be the start of the conference schedule when we're playing 3 linebackers with no experience, or barely any experience. The staff whiffed on most of the linebackers they wanted.
Yes, because no one behind them has played football ever, and it's not like they were able to turn a 2-star afterthought that was going to D-III into the greatest LB in program history after losing yet another 3 starters just one year prior. I'm not saying they're gonna be all-stars, but given our defensive staff and their track record, the sky is far from falling.
