SMU 86 wrote:Star is a hybrid safety/linebacker role. Same as the TCU Rover not exactly the same as a SAM role we just call it the Star instead of a Rover. Coach Morris said in his first interview that we were moving to the 4-2-5 and the Star is a key position. I do know that Williams was specifically recruited to play the Star. Could the Scott brothers have been working out with the linebacker in general over the summer? But like I said who knows where anyone is playing now. Going to be fun to see the starting lineup on game day.
I'm with you. After talk about it with some of the players in the Spring, however, I came away thinking that our Star will blitz and be a little closer to the line of scrimmage than the Rover at TCU...
