Linebacker trio?

The '09 class had at least three linebackers (Isaiah Bell, Mike Jones, and Brandin Hawthorne) with some promise. Aside from Hawthorne (apparently spending time at deep safety), has there been any word on the progress of the others this spring?

Jones is playing weakside

Jones is playing weakside linebacker, according to Magnus, and Bell is too. Haven't heard an inkling about them from spring rumors yet though, except Denard crushing Mike Jones on his touchdown run.

Isiah Bell, Mike Jones, Brandin Hawthorne

I'm excited to see how these guys do in the future. They all run well and can give us a sideline to sideline defense in the near future.

Ah yes ...

The 3 Amigos

I think Hawthorne and Mike Jones (Who?) are competing for the spinner position, with the stouter Isiah Bell trying his hand at OLB

Kovacs is playing the "bandit" position. He's essentially a strong safety and drops into deep coverage when they go cover 2.

If it makes you feel any

If it makes you feel any better, he's not the only deep safety, he only has half the field to be responsible for.

Half the field is still too much for him to cover.

From what I heard, both Jones

From what I heard, both Jones and Bell were playing the WILL spot, the one currently occupied by Mouton. I've heard that Bell might try out the MIKE spot too, but now that Demens is looking strong there, maybe not. Either way, I wouldn't worry that we haven't heard much out of those guys since they play a spot with a senior returning starter. If we don't hear about them pushing for PT next year, then we can be more concerned.
