Happy Birthday to the BEST linebacker to come out of the 2012 Draft and Future Hall Of Famer, Lavonte David
women lie, men lie, numbers don’t!

Winfield just narrowly edged out Bates garnering 109 votes to his 107. David got just 6 votes finishing 15th Wirfs finished sixth with just 4 votes.McLaughlin finished 5th with 7 votes. While Camarda finished 8th with 3 votes and rookie Josh Hayes got one vote for special teamer.
Was at @UTEPFB Week 0 game HC Dana Dimel (longtime P5 ass’t) told us Tyrice Knight is best LB he’s ever been around and that includes guys like former K-State third round pick and 10-year NFL starter Mark Simoneau.
That comment got our attention and so has Knight’s 🎥 this year.
Knight (6001v, 233v, 32 3/4 arm) is an instinctive flow ‘backer and currently leads all FBS in solo tackles per game (9.4).
Impressive play here showing acceleration to chase down jet sweeper who took handoff on move. 💨
Knight has chance to be first UTEP player in Mobile since in Will Hernandez in 2018.
