Covington changed to LB. Guess that says something about Zander. Hope our QBs can stay healthy again and I hope Covington can be successful at LB!

Can anybody clarify the Will Dawkins eligibility thing?

Covington changed to LB. Guess that says something about Zander. Hope our QBs can stay healthy again and I hope Covington can be successful at LB!

I thought that was interesting. He didn't look very big last year. Maybe he's more of a SS playing in the box or something.

Mangieri moving to DL is interesting. Thought he was a bright spot last year.

Yeah he really isn't that big I didn't think, but maybe putting in the work in the weight room will pay off. Could be an outside speed rusher in the 3-4 though and I know he was some type of DB in high school, so he will have coverage ability from the LB spot.

[hoosierwhodey 1,256]

Gooch at 250lbs is a load. Imagine picking up that blitz.

[hoosierwhodey 1,256]

DL: Latham, Hoff, Mangieri
LB: Gooch, Simmons, Scales, Sykes
DB: Fant, Clark, Allen, Dutra


Looks solid on paper.

He's about 6'1 I think, so if he bulks up he could be a deadly special package player.

Hopefully that's his injury for the year. Better now than the third game of the year. Get better soon!

IU starting middle linebacker TJ Simmons knee scoped. Not serious, but will miss the balance of spring practice.
