Since the D line seems to be returning? Your thoughts.

XT no, he is to much of a freak to redshirt. Will be in the 2 deep, if not at the start of the season then by mid-season.
KJ may RS just to get in the weight room for a year like Shaq Smith did. 247 has him listed at 235, which as Vic Beasley taught us is doable but that is the exception to the rule.

Neither of these guys will redshirt. More than likely we will just have them for three years.

We only have Ferrell, Bryant and Yeargin for one more year. You play them as reserves.

If you RS XT, then you only get 2 seasons out of him compared to 3 if you don't RS him. No way in hell he RS unless he gets injuried in camp.
Henry is very thin for that 6'6 frame, but I doubt he RS, we don't exactly have the most talent at OLB now that #6 is leaving. That leaves Chad Smith, Shaq Smith, and Jalen Williams, as our most reliable replacement for O' Daniel. I'm assuming that Tre will start at Mike and KJ at Will, ( in all honesty I would like to see KJ flip over to Sam and let someone stronger take over Will) I don't think they will put either Davis at Sam (need speed and coverage skills at Sam) I know Williams was the back up at Sam most of the year but I just don't see that as a reliable replacement for the full season. I would like to see Shaq get a chance and start he was 5* for a reason but there is also a reason why he RS, and was 3rd team on the depth chart for the majority of the season. Henry really isn't a coverage guy so I would assume they flip Chad Smith over to Sam and have Henry fill in Chads back up spot at Will. I think the 2 deep at LB will look a little something like this going into fall camp.
Sam 1. Shaq Smith 2. Chad Smith
Mike 1. Tre Lamar 2. Jamie Skalski
Will 1. KJ 2. Henry/ JD Davis
Just my two cents

Neither will RS, don't forget KJ was getting a lot of offers from schools to play LB as well which we will have an opening at so he possibly could get some snaps there but I wouldn't expect it. Both are too good of athletes that will be more than likely leaving after their junior year. KJ will get the experience he needs just as XT will. Don't forget they play different sides of the ball so they can both be playing 2 deep at the same time once we play lesser competition such as the lame chickens.

Zero chance of a redshirt for XT.
