Roster moves

Just some quick news from Edsall's briefing on Thursday.

Big news is a couple of position switches. OLB Scott Lutrus moves inside from the Husky position and Dahna Deleston moves to the Husky linebacker position from safety. Also, Jarrell Miller is moving from middle linebacker to defensive tackle. Miller is around 265 pounds now.

Edsall said Lutrus is more suited for the middle, and he likes Deleston's ability to play closer to the line and tackle. This isn't done if it were not for the young secondary that has a lot of talent. Kijuan Dabney, John Jean Louis and Aaron Bagsby are likely the first to get looked at the vacated safety spot.

Off the team: Brandon Dillon is battling academic issues and won't be with the team for the spring. Marcus Campbell is not in school currently and is taking care of personal issues. Edsall hopes to have both back in the summer if possible.

Also leaving the team were walk-ons, some guy named Cody Brumball (spelling?) and quarterback Matt Vollono. Also, Mike Conroy is headed to play pro baseball again. He is going to go back to school, but he is done playing football.

As far as injuries: Lawrence Green's career is likely over. The offensive guard is set for surgery on the left knee in a couple of weeks and it is perhaps a 2 year rehab. He is going to stay on scholarship , but his playing days are over.

As far as transfers: Brown went to Norfolk state, Derek Rich to Georgia (walk-on, it was girl related), and finally Terence Jeffers (parts unknown).

Edsall confirmed that Jeffers' leaving was because of playing time and how he was used at wide receiver. It makes little sense on Jeffers' end to be quite honest. Where is he going to play more and what place will he have a better situation?
