In the latest State of the Program breakdown focuses on the linebackers. In this segment, however, Bryan ties the present and future together for a number. At the beginning the discussion is about how the LB position has been erratic in the past 10-15 years, but 2023 started to change things. Can 2024 keep building on that? That is discussed, and Bryan dives into expectations for Jack Kiser and Drayk Bowen in 2024.
