Two diff types of LBsHe probably has a better burst and looser hips than some of our current Safeties.
He has a lot of nice attributes to work with...
...would be interested to see him worked in as a Strong Side Backer. If we move to a 3-4 at times, he's the ideal ILB.
If he's the ideal LB in a 3-4 why wouldn't he work at MLB in a 4-3?
I like what I saw, specially his speed and decisiveness, but am I the only one that thinks he needs to put on some serious weight to play MLB?
Don't get me wrong, I really like the pick up, but he needs some size before he can be a legit contributer for the U...

He won't be playing MLB, he'll be playing OLB. Just picture a lineup with Perryman, Kirby, Witt. Figure Perryman will be about 230-235, Kirby about 240-245 and Witt around 240-245 and that's a pretty big and pretty solid linebacker crew. I'm excited about the future with them.
He plays the same position in HS that Jordan Futch played (Same coach). However, Futch only made plays rushing the QB and unblocked. This kid plays in space much better and has good instincts. Essentially, I see him becoming everything we thought Futch would be.
****...I remember some saying he didn't like contact. Clearly, that's not that case. What type of comp. are we looking at here?
