IT note. Good lord we're loaded at edge. And LB.
IT has reported junior transfer Brad Spence from Arkansas was working with the Edges this summer but we did not say it was a full time move. Now, we've learned that it is a full time move.
Interesting, and it tells us that Trey Moore is going to get his share of snaps playing off-ball linebacker. We can deduce that because there's no way they'd feel comfortable with a room consisting of Anthony Hill, Liona Lefau, a still-young Tyanthony Smith, and true freshman Elijah Barnes. They love Smith, but he hasn't played much. That will change over time this season. Barnes is coming along but that's a difficult position for a true freshman to play.
PK mentioned today that Zina U. was at Jack. That pinged my radar because he's too good to be a third-teamer. Spence at Buck full time offered clarity on that.
Spence is a natural pass rusher who played defensive end in high school. He'll be good for Texas at Buck. Colin might spell his last name with the 'S' from Superman but he'll still need a breather from time to time.
