I think with Honas (hopefully), Reimer and probably Henrich, they have a good base inside. Plus Mauga and Kolarevic if they pan out. Nelson and Payne were solid at the strong OLB spot this year and Tannor was serviceable. But they are still looking for someone more dynamic. So I'm thinking a couple of these guys will at least get a look outside when they get he to see if anything looks promising. Quote Link to comment

Dude flies. I was surprised to not see him this year, just based on athleticism. Quote Link to comment

Would still be nice to see him get in there situationally. Quote Link to comment

I didn't expect Mauga to play at all this past season, and he didn't. He was a bit of a project, but athletic enough to take a chance on. Quote Link to comment

Is Mauga that athletic? I don't think Mauga will be on par with 2 of the best LB's in NU history, that's asking a lot from him. But if he is able to be a contributor at the hybrid OLB/Nickel position against spread teams, then I think that would be a good career for him at NU. I think about how good Dejon Gomes was at NU. If Maugu can be near that level, that's really good. Quote Link to comment
