The linebacker for the Alabama Crimson Tide was the consensus number one inside linebacker before tearing his ACL. In 2018, his first full season as a starter, Moses totaled 86 tackles, 10 for a loss, and 3.5 sacks. Moses is the same level of talent as guys like Luke Kuechly and could be a serious steal if he falls because of his injury.

The linebacker for the Clemson Tigers is a hybrid linebacker/safety. He is an explosive athlete that can be moved around to create mismatches. He totaled 88 tackles, nine for a loss, two sacks and six pass breakups in 2018. So far in 2019, he has 27 tackles, 3.5 for a loss and two sacks. He could be a special player at the next level.

The linebacker for the Oklahoma Sooners is a tackling machine. He totaled 155 tackles in 2018 with 12.5 for a loss and 4.5 sacks. He has sideline to sideline capability. If he improves at shedding blocks and getting downhill quicker he will have exceptional production at the next level.

The linebacker for the Georgia Bulldogs is a sideline to sideline player who comes downhill against the run fast. He totaled 59 tackles in 2018. He needs to improve at processing what is in front of him, but if he masters that, he will be a dangerous defender.
