#53 Blake Slaughter |
Position: Linebacker Previous College: None Projection: Second-String Status: On Scholarship |
Blake Slaughter (b. March 14, 1990) is one of my favorite players simply because he has one of the greatest football names of all time, especially for a linebacker.
If any member of the linebacking corps is likely to break into the starting rotation this fall in place of Arthur Brown, Emmanuel Lamur or Tre Walker, it's probably Slaughter.
Although a little on the short side, he makes up for it with tenaciousness and physicality. And unlike Alex Hrebec, his speed is not a major drawback, although he's certainly not a burner by any stretch.
Slaughter never redshirted, but he did grayshirt due to a knee injury during his senior year of high school. He's certainly experienced, having seen action in both seasons under Bill Snyder, including several starts in 2010.

Assuming Tre Walker is bigger, better and improved
That pool of names sounds so much better. I would have to say this will be the most improved unit on the defense over last year.
Oh and…
his speed his not a major drawback,
whoops an extra H.
"Nor yet in Dell?"
It is a great name. I hope he can live up to it this year.

Isn't the saying:
“You can’t spell slaughter without laughter”?
