    Here's the catch - one of them isn't allowed to be Al Wilson.

    Raynoch, Al, and Emo was about as good of linebacking corps as one could ask for.

    Emo decapitating that dude from Vandy might be my favorite UT hit of all time.

    Andy Spiva has to be on the list. Not sure if he still is, but he was the SEC leader in career tackles for a long time.

    For whatever reason I always think of him as a safety.

    Tough to choose between that hit and the one Eddie Moore on Kelvin Kight in 2001.

    we've had a number a good LBers a few great, but overall in the years we can cover the flat, and we can't cover tight ends. Safeties been bailing em out for years.

    Ernest Fields deserves a strong mention. The LB with the best college and pro career is easily Jack Reynolds.
