A day late, apologies!
We all love a legacy child. Joey, the son of former player, Kevin Sumlin is headed into his second season for Coach Ryan Walters.
Kevin, who played many moons ago now and has been a successful head coach at the collegiate level was a bad A** linebacker in his day.
Joey is trying to follow in the same steps, a walk-on linebacker, working his tail off to try and get playing time. Joey, at 6-1, 240 pounds, did not appear in any games last season as a true freshman, but with how thin the inside linebacker position is on this roster, maybe there is an outside chance that he could find his way on the field.
