We will see.  Leuders was also a LB in our defense, until he was moved to DE.  We have a lot of linebackers and not a lot of defensive linemen, so my guess is they will probably bulk up and play on the defensive line.

I see your point but Veach and Tyler strike me as having skinnier frames. They remind me of Kevin Anderson who was never going to be able to bulk up to play DE. Lueders didn't come in at 230ish, was around 250 from what I remember. I actually wanted him moved to DE 2 years ago. I expect him to be able to put on some good weight before next season.

And we actually have more d-line guys than OLBs. We're down to Kalambayi, Anderson, Vaughters, Tyler, and maybe Palma if he moves outside. Only 2 have playing experience. You can add in Veach but he's obviously redshirting and coming off knee surgery. And I don't see Alfieri, Okereke, and Perez playing outside. Perez looks closer to a safety than a 3-4 OLB.
