2025 Fall Camp Notes - Linebackers

It is going to be interesting to see how they get reps to essentially four guys at JACK. Ochoa, McGahee, McCullough, and Shavers (at times but also at ILB).
 
Sounds like Merritt is really impressing too. Keep in mind that he was out for spring ball and is undersized. Very impressive young player with a bright future.

I think Shavers playing it will be very situational, like 3rd down blitz packages where they are playing multiple Jacks. McCullough would seem to be the #1, but I don't know that any of them are going to be as sturdy against the run as Sherman was. I know Sherman didn't make a lot of splash plays, but the dude could set an edge. I expect McCullough to lead the rotation but if one of the other guys is better against the run they might take his job down the stretch.

That is might thought (hope?) as well: the pass rush package will have multiple Jacks on the field.

As long as we can get teams into passing situations often enough....
