Drew Kelson's future

[jtk1519]

After watching last night's game and reading KT2000's comments, I have started to change my mind on where this kid will play next year.

All year, it has been thought that Kelson would move back to safety to help off-set the loss of Huff while making way for Sergio Kindle at LB. I know Kelson is still learning the LB position and because of that he will make mistakes, but there is a lot of potential with this kid.

So, do you keep him at WLB with Kill at SLB and rotate Bobino and Kindle at MLB? Do you keep Kelson at WLB, move Bobino to MLB and rotate Kill and Kindle at SLB? Do you go ahead and move Kelson to the secondary? BTW, you can tell I am of the opinion that Kindle will be making an immediate impact.

kindle will be a started next year i agree as well im so excited for thios draft class i expect great things from them.

The good thing is, Kelson has the intelligence to continue learning both positions and contribute where necessary. Marcus Griffin improved a lot over the summer and can play the FS spot. However, I wouldn't be surprised if Kelson did make a move back.

I'm sure it will be an interesting spring. Kindle is supposed to be enrolled this January, so I don't think there will be any rotating him as long as he picks things up in the spring. He will be there from day one in my opinion. I think Snead is also going to be an early enrollee also. If VY leaves, he and Colt McCoy get to battle for the starting spot with Sherrod Harris.

Kelson is an all around athlete. He can play anywhere and make an impact.

Snead and Kindle are apparently early enrollees.

As for LB, Its my understanding that Derry and Bobino are going to MLB, Kill to SLB and Kindle and Kelson to WLB.

Kelson is interesting though. The kid had the speed to cover Reggie Bush deep and pick one off. If you add 10-15lbs of muscle to that kid he can be a devastatingly fast LB. Drop him 5-10 lbs and he'd be one of those Shawn Taylor/Roy Williams type SSs. I know UT is losing some good ones, but wow, what talent they have coming back. If VY comes back, this could be a great year AGAIN. If not, you never know how Snead or McCoy will react. They could be great or horrible for all we know. Just know there's a lot of talent for whomever to get the ball to.

I think Kindle would be great at SS.
