He is going to be hard to replace but we have some young players that are going to be awfully good.
Avery Williamson graduated after a celebrated career at Kentucky and was promptly snatched up by the Tennessee Titans. The problem is that this will be the first season in about ten years that the team has no idea who the next man up is. There are six scholarship linebackers on the roster at this time and with all due respect, it’s not exactly what fans might want. Of the six, only junior Khalid Henderson and freshman Dorian Hendrix were even recruited as linebackers in the first place. Tyler Brause (quarterback), Miles Simpson (running back), Josh Forrest (wide receiver), and Travaughn Paschal (defensive lineman) might have been brought in the play other positions, but all have spent at least the last season at linebacker. What the group might lack in traditional size (Henderson, Forrest, Simpson, and Hendrix are all listed between 229-231 pounds), they do bring a substantial boost in athleticism. While the athleticism will help Kentucky’s defense against the ever popular spread offenses, the lack of experience in the group in certainly concerning. Hendrix is a true freshman, and the other five have been part-time starters at best.
