huskersals24 Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 With our lack of depth for next year at linebacker, do you see Roy Helu possibly moving over to a LB position? I remember when he was being recruited it was mentioned a couple times? Any guesses? Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 There's a pretty good discussion on the linebacker situation in THIS THREAD, although I don't recall Helu being metioned. Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 well lets see who we got at LB coming back... Nick Covey Phillip Dillard Blake Lawrence Austin Stafford LaTravis Washington and then about 4 walk on guys.... and then we have these guys coming in (well hopefully) Will Compton Sean Fisher Micah Kreikemeier Kyler Reed So with the depth looking like that and how inexperienced it is I see another person moving to LB, but I'm sure it won't be Helu. Look for Asante or Culbert at LB next year, I really think they will move one of those guys just to have a little more experience. I think Lawrence, Stafford, and Washington are all guys who have a lot of potential, and might even be good enough we won't need to move Asante or Culbert, but I think it will happen.

huskersals24 Posted December 28, 2007 Author Share Posted December 28, 2007 Well even if they move asante or culbert over to lb, we would still need more depth. right now we are a lot deeper and rb that lb, and helu might have a better shot at seeing PT if he goes to defense...especially with okafor coming in and possible lamichael james./ Quote Link to comment
DaveH Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 No way I'd like to see Helu move. Quote Link to comment

Kyler Reed will play offense and Kreikemeier will definitely redshirt, but I think we will land at least one more HS linebacker. Asante would be a great LB because he hits hard and he has good speed and Culbert proved he could play there also. If we can keep Compton then he has a chance to play early Quote Link to comment
Overland Park Husker Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 No way I'd like to see Helu move. I'd like to see Asante moved up to LB and put Culbert at his more "natural" position of safety. Quote Link to comment
chamrocck Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 I tend to agree that we need to look at Asante at LB. I didn't think he played well in coverage. No INT's? I do recall that he would come up and help stop the run after the opposing RB blew past our D-line. Quote Link to comment
jakokid Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think our 3 starters will be Dillard at middle, Asante at one outside, and Lawrence/Compton/Stafford at the other outside. I think it will probably be Lawrence but who knows how good Compton, Stafford, and maybe even Washington can be. Quote Link to comment
