Breakout Season For Ogletree?

   We got to see him play safety this past season, as a true freshman. Now, Alec is all grown up and playing inside linebacker. Can't wait to see more of this. Ogletree looked comfortable this spring, at his new position.
   So, could Alec Ogletree be the next great Georgia linebacker?
   Right now, you're probably thinking something like; "show me 100 tackles and get back to me this December." I know, I know. But the skill set is special. And when I've talked to Grantham about him, Todd gets excited. Expect big things.
   Ogletree is going to be one the most athletic LB in CF this season. Fast & physical. The ability to chase sideline to sideline. Can't imagne seeing a faster ILB. Alec is a "3 Down LB", which means he stays on the field in passing situations. He will shine in pass coverage. Playmaking ability at ILB is rare, but this young man has it.
   Imagine a bigger version of Thomas Davis playing ILB. A faster, more athletic version of Ben Zambiasi. A skill set that allows him to chase down fast guys and slam them to the turf. Bet he gets some sacks too.
   The only real question is how he holds up against those downhill runs, between the tackles. I hear he has added some more weight and muscle and is up around 235. That will help when he runs into Lattimore.
   Can he get 100 tackles this season? I'd bet on it.
