There has been a lot of movement at linebacker throughout the course of the spring as Brent Pry and Chris Marve try to figure out which players are the best fits at each position. Dax Hollifield has remained at Mike, while Alan Tisdale has stayed at Will, but there have been position changes aplenty at the other spots.

Rather than focusing on the entire group of linebackers today, we’ll take a look at each unique position and the players who are working there. Near as I can tell, the Hokies have three scholarship players at each spot, which seems ideal.

Mike – Dax Hollifield Returns For Virginia Tech

Here are the three players working at mike and their career snaps on defense…

Player	Height	Weight	Year	Career Snaps
Dax Hollifield	6-1	239	Sr.	2,306
Keshon Artis	6-0	240	r-Jr.	254
Dean Ferguson	6-2	228	r-So.	61
