#1's - May (weakside) Koehler (middle) Fisher (strongside)

More information on May. Asante is quoted on saying he is the fastest linebacker he has seen in a long time.

That's because he's really a safety playing linebacker. So sure he's fast but I'm not convinced that ANY of these young backers are BIG 12 tough just yet. And none of us will know until conference play starts. VT might prove to be a challenge, but their O still won't compare to those in our own conference.
I'm all for it. Until someone in the big 12 decides to go to a power game rather than a spread, we need our fastest players on the field. The article also says that May is a "violent hitter." Fast and violent. Sounds like an excellent combination for a LB.

Also, Bo seems to especially value speed at LB, even at the sacrifice of size.
