Best Available Linebackers

LB Eyabi Anoma (former school: Houston): The 6-5, 245-pounder from Baltimore may have trouble finding a spot despite being a five-star recruit. The issue? This is the third time he's in the portal after being enrolled at Alabama. He moved on to Houston and was dismissed by head coach Dana Holgorsen for a violation of team rules last season.

ILB Jordan Anthony (former school: Michigan): Anthony is a former four-star recruit, who is apparently going to be a grad transfer. Anthony is a 6-0, 245-pounder from Silver Spring, Md., who has played 16 games in two seasons and has 14 total tackles.

Edge Mark Jackson Jr. (former school: Oklahoma): He has just one year left. He started seven games in 2018 and appeared in just four games last season. He does have four sacks and 53 tackles in four seasons. A former four-star recruit.

ILB Kendall McCallum (former school: LSU): McCallum is a 6-3, 227-pound freshman and a three-star prospect. He played in just two games last fall, so he should be eligible to play all four seasons, but will have to sit out.

ILB Jonathan Perkins (former school: Oklahoma): Perkins is a freshman and former three-star recruit. He's from San Beradino (Calif.). and had big-time offers including Auburn and LSU.

ILB Shawnkel Knight-Goff (former school: Kentucky): A former three-star linebacker who went to Kentucky and at one point gave up football. At 6-2, 220, he can also play safety.

OLB Jacoby Simpson (former school: TCU). Simpson is a former three-star recruit. He's 6-0, 225 and redshirted his first year, though he played in four games (two tackles).
