Linebackers: D+
The linebacker corps ended up better than we thought. Not great at all, but Jevohn Miller was the team’s leading tackler until he suffered a season-ending injury that ultimately finished his career with the Cyclones. No, he was nowhere near the level of Jeremiah George or other former Iowa State greats. But he had some great performances, and Luke Knott finished third on the team in total tackles (74) and shows great promise after his sophomore campaign.
