Linebackers

First team – Tyrel Dodson, Otaro Alaka, Buddy Johnson

Second team – Anthony Hines III, Braden White, Ikenna Okeke

This one wasn’t that difficult considering the first team linebackers were all the starting linebackers out of the gate last season. They have been practicing with the first team for all of fall camp.

Dodson is the best of the bunch and he recently stated he believes the Aggies have the best linebacking unit in all of college football. He also tweeted this.

This season is dedicated to everyone that disrespected A&M’s linebacker corps over the years. Time to show we are #LBU

Goosebumps

Alaka and Johnson will form a nice trio for Elko, but expect Hines to be in the mix as well. He was the prize of the 2017 recruiting class and it will be tough to keep him holstered.
