They are also going after a DL graduate transfer from a FCS school. Sadly, not sure about any LB's they are going after. I think they are content with the 2 they brought in this class, but IMO, we need more than just 2.

If you take a look at the linebackers on the roster, this should be a productive group. Maybe some needed a year in the system, like Craft, Bolden, and Crider.

Being a little buried on the depth chart limits you, but also reflects the guys haven’t risen over the other talent on the depth chart. These 3 could really shine, but it is up to them embracing the opportunity.

I am hoping Corbett, Cooper, Carter, Mitchell, and N’Shaka provide Toledo fans with the new “unbelievable guy” talk next fall. Thinking this might be Corbett.

Something needs to happen. The system can work. Campbell has proved that at Iowa State, but that is because they have an all Big 12 linebacker capable of making it work. Beckman, Campbell, and Candle were not and have not been successful at recruiting that position in Toledo. Toledo's d line looks like it could be formidable by 2020. Neither the D line or secondary will matter if that middle linebacker/star position continues to weak. Having to make up for that weakness costs the defense every year. Either recruit it, change the scheme, or leave town.
