  Draft Scout by Conference









  Florida State linebackers coach Randy Shannon knows that for the Seminoles succeed this season, they'll need to create negative plays on defense. Through the first two weeks of preseason camp and after Saturday's scrimmage, Shannon's group has met those expectations. "We felt like we've got a good group of new kids, guys that can do a lot of different things, playing different positions and making a lot of negative plays," said Shannon. "We felt like we created more negative plays. We're excited by the group and excited about what direction we are going." The linebackers are among the most well-rounded units on the team.

The addition of UCF transfer Tatum Bethune has solidified a group that features experience with Kalen DeLoach, Amari Gainer, DJ Lundy and young talent in redshirt sophomore Stephen Dix Jr. and true freshman Omar Graham Jr. "We're doing a lot of rotation with the linebackers," said Shannon. "Everybody's playing with the ones and everybody's playing with the twos, everybody is with the threes. It's about getting better and building at depth at linebacker." Bethune reunites with Shannon, who recruited him when he was defensive coordinator with the Knights from 2018-20. The Miami native is coming off an All-American Athletic Conference season, where he led the team with 108 tackles, 2 sacks and 2 interceptions. The redshirt junior has provided a calming presence in the middle of the defense. - Orlando Sentinel
