Shay freaking Muirbrook! The dude exemplified Bronco's comment that linebackers are "messed up" by definition. And on one of the biggest stages BYU's ever been on - the Cotton Bowl vs. Kansas State - he came up huge with six - yes, SIX - sacks and a safety. Loved watching him.

Also, not sure if he was ILB or OLB, but Kurt Gouveia was one of the best we ever had.

I don't remember ILB's before then. Brian Kehl was an outside linebacker.

Justin Ena

Another I don't remember whether he played inside or outside is Brady Poppinga.

Brady Poppinga played DE.

He was moved to outside linebacker for his senior year. He plays outside linebacker in the NFL.

Shay Muirbrook, Rob Morris, Cameron Jensen, Mike Tanner

A quick look at Cougarstats and here are the top 10 all-time leading tacklers I'm not entirely sure who may have played ILB:

1. Shad Hansen 408 tackles

2. Rod Wood 394

3. Larry Carr 389

4. Glen Redd 382

5. Rocky Biegl 371

6. Dan Hansen 369

7. Marv Allen 353

8. Bob Davis 349

9. Rob Morris 345

10. Shay Muirbrook 345



I think Biegel played ILB as did Allen and Hansen I'm not sure about the rest.

If I vote for Rocky Biegl will his son come to the Y?

1. Kurt Gouveia. 13 year NFL career speaks volumes here. 1984 Title Team.

2. Rob Morris Freight Train

3. Shay Muirbrook 1996 Defense. Nuff said.
