Waiting on the final word to get Thomas Brown and Jared Afalava cleared has almost ensured they will both redshirt. I thought both could have pushed for PT on special teams with Afalava making a strong push for LB duties as well. As a fan of redshirting, I think this will bode well for these two in the future, but with the LB situation the way it is, it would have been nice to have all of your scholarship players as options for this coming season.
Seems like Will Compton, Zaire Anderson, Sean Fisher, Michael Rose, Alonzo Whaley and David Santos will man the LB spots for the '12 season.
