didnt take one single snap on defense and he is penciled in as a starter because he played in a tough conference in college?

with Hager staying on the roster, Kizer was 3rd string at that spot..... Ramik Wilson backed up Barron...

so no, he didn't see the field on defense this season.....

during times where we were getting destroyed on the ground this season, I wish they had given him a shot..but again..Hager's been there, and he saw the field some this season...


and again, it's not just the fact that his conference was tough.... he was only the 2nd guy in ACC history to lead the conference in tackles 3 straight years.... the other being Luke Keachley…. …. he has 145 tackles in his senior season...…

Corey Littleton shined on special teams...and replaced Barron in some games.....but he never at any level played the inside spot he started at all season this year.... and it worked out pretty good...

not saying they should give Kizer a spot.... Ideally for me I'd like to seem him be able to compete for playing time, because the guy can play..and we need a stout REAL inside linebacker.... tired of seeing our LBs get run over, and Micah Kizer at 250lbs isn't going to get run over...
