Maybe the best defense in Longview Lobo history is brewing....

A big reason why is the middle of the defense. The '25 LB tandem of Brenden Reese and Kason Brooks will be deadly.

Reese already has a D1 offer from Texas State, and may not be the better of the two...

Both could be involved in Longview's backfield this fall too.

 

👀 That def is d1 size

In what ways does this years defense need to improve to rank among the best in Lobo history? Points against? Sacks? Ints? Defensive tds?

I don't think teams will be doing too much scoring on Longview for one thing.

I think there's going to be a ton of 3 and outs with this years' Lobo defense and with Darensbourg moving from TE to DE...sack numbers will still be up.

Hard to forecast turnovers but I do know that the more experience a team returns, the more likely turnovers increase.

Buddha Garrett, Chase Smith, Willie Nelson, Jaiden Simmons, Billy Smith and Xaryus Sheppard gives Longview 6 3 year starters on defense. Darensbourg started at TE a year ago with some snaps at DE.

7 of 11 are experienced....then you add the D1 '25 LB duo of Brenden Reese and Kason Brooks. Reese played in rotation last season as a sophomore.

Closer look at the Lancaster WR group....

'24 WR Ti'Erick Martin (5'7 165) - 1,100 yards last season, multiple D1 offers

'24 WR Kam Robinson (6'2 190) - 700 yards last season, multiple D1 offers (will also play safety)

'25 WR Emmanuel Choice (6'4 185) - Oklahoma offer

'24 WR Jerbrandin Henderson (5'9 170) - 1,322 yards last season, transferred from Irving McArthur and was nominated for 6A WR of the year

It's kinda funny...  no disrespect to Reese, but he's just your basic, prototypical Lobo linebacker: he flies to the ball, is eager for contact, instinctive and tough, the kinda kid who comes through this program virtually every year... EXCEPT for his D-1 dimensions. 

I'm not complaining, but it is interesting to see.  :)
