When we get athletes, they do develop. Look at KVN and Ziggy.

Utah has out recruited BYU as far as "athletes" are concerned, especially on the D-line. Those genetic attributes transfer well into the NFL.

We have had solid LB's until this year. They have been poor this year.....

Utah: 4 NFL LBs. BYU: 1 NFL LB.

one of the lb's you're counting played a lot at DE also

He played LB as well, so I'm counting it as an LB. Beyond that, LBs are the

My point is that this sub-thread was about NFL LBs.

Bronson Kaufusi is rated as the 10th best DE prospect next year by cbs sports.

but he plays outside lb.

He's been moved back. Playing him at OLB was crazy.

A lot of NFL OLB's are more like college DEs

It's still a negative when it comes recruiting high school D-Line against Utah.

Lance71

12/19/14 9:54am

Only for DEs. Not for DTs.

lawboy

12/19/14 9:55am

I agree with that. And BYU's DT haven't been that bad. And Utahs best DT

Utah runs a completely different scheme/attracts completely different players.

Well recruit fewer missionaries then so we can compete.
