At his current size,  196 lbs, Madhu isn't big enough to play OLB in Stanford's 3-4 defense.  In the 3-4 the OLBs often have to take on OLs moving at speed.    OLB Chase Thomas  last season played at around 240 lbs.,  the other, Tom Keiser at over 250.  We'll have to see.  Adding 40-50 lbs. to Madhu's frame isn't impossible, but it's a pretty daunting development curve.  I think he plays as a big safety rather than a small LB.
