In case you have not heard Lou Tepper "Wrote the Book on Linebackers". Tepper's reputation as a linebacker building machine was only enhanced by the Progress of Khalil Mack. Before Tepper set foot on campus it was clear that Mack was something special but the Fort Pierce Florida native is now a presumptive first round draft pick after two years in under the former LSU defensive coordinator.
This season the linebackers are probably one of the strongest units recruited by Buffalo. The group includes a top 30 prospect from Michigan and New York along with the #31 prospect from Virginia. All three had offers from other FBS schools and in the case of Myles Nicholas he decommitted from a Conference USA school to join the Bulls.
Perhaps it's Teppers reputation which has seemingly mad UB an attractive school for Linebackers. The Bulls are losing Mack this season, they will lose Adam Redden next, but by the time Redden leaves this years crop of linebackers will be a factor. They will have either used up their redshirts or will have a year of play under their belt.
