Travis Beckum too. He was a LB recruit with offers from everyone.
I meant LB when I wrote DE. I knew Beckum was kinda a hybrid.
That class was super weird. They took five listed linebacker, plus an TE/athlete who became a linebacker. They were:
Beckum: one of the best recruits UW has ever had who went from defensive wrecking ball to 900-yard TE
O'Brien Schofield: Ended up at DE. A bit player for three years, he stepped in as a so-so starter on that bad 2008 team and then put up 12 sacks and 24.5 TFL as a senior for some HM AA nods.
DeAndre Levy: Three-year starter, twice second-team all-conference. Eventually earned a second-team all-pro nod in the NFL and was considered one of the best coverage linebackers out there.
Jonathan Casillas: Three-year starter, good play-maker, led the team in tackles once. Carved out nine years in the league.
Elijah Hodge: Brother of the former Iowa star, he was the 26th-highest rated recruit to every sign with UW. He waited behind veterans for two years (stealing a moped along the way), then was kind of forgettable as the started in the middle in 2007. Lost the starting job the next year and then transferred to Northern Iowa, where he was the fourth-leading tackler on a team that was better than its record.
The other guy
Jaevery McFadden: Rounded into a solid two-year starter who led the team in tackles twice.
