Eric Striker, Oklahoma – Did you see what he did to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last season? He also racked up 10.5 sacks for loss too.

A.J. Johnson, Tennessee – Might be the best linebacker in the SEC this season.

Myles Jack, UCLA – Some think he gets too much attention because he played both ways last season, but the kid is THAT good. You don’t win Pac-12 offensive and defensive player Freshman of the year if you’re lame. He’s going to wreck at linebacker this year.

Ramik Wilson, Georgia – There are NFL linebackers that play 16 games that don’t put up the numbers Wilson did last season, which was 133 tackles.

Shaq Thompson, Washington – He might be the most athletic linebacker in the country after this season is over.
