For anyone who cares, a source from inside the football team has told me that Alton Meeks has moved to mike linebacker (middle linebacker). Barring a JUCO recruit, sounds like it will be him or Kane Seeley replacing Jeremiah George.
Meeks
- Thread starter Cyclone07
- Start date
That's a start with CycloneFanatic posters and news concerning the football team.
Step 1. Not hate the news
Step 2.
Step 3. Like the news (Profit)
Haven't heard anything regarding linebackers. Would be shocked if we did, we are relatively young at the position. Would think the JUCO targets would be defensive backs and defensive lineman.
Meeks has looked good in terms of size and athleticism. Hope this year has been loaded with development for him.
A few years with Meeks and Knott will be nice. And if the recruit from Wisconsin is anything like Klein, things are taking shape nicely.

Which is awesome. If he is fast enough to be able to drop into coverage when need be having a bigger guy back there who can take on linemen directly would be awesome.
I still hope they grab a JUCO LB to push Brackens and Knott/Miller. Maybe even take their spot. I don't have a huge amount of confidence in the LBs being much better if at all next season. DL has to be better though baring injury so maybe that will be the difference. Of course, with a very young secondary next season (No seniors at all), we can't rely on them to be huge run stoppers like Washington and Broomfield.
We can always use another qb. They are like chairs on the Titantic.Move him back to QB!!!!
I like the idea of a bigger Middle Linebacker. I would rather error on the side of someone who is bigger and can get off blocks against the run, as opposed to smaller and faster, considering the amount of tackles our LB's make with an undersized DLine.
Hopefully, he comes in and is another cerebral, tough, Burnham mold Linebacker.

He early enrolled as well, so next year will be his second spring practice, and he's been in the strength program for an extra 6 months. Should pay dividends next year with him and Knott on the field, we should have a good 1-2 punch!
