In my ongoing quest to find LBs that can actually play for BB, here's another early candidate.
I watched Central Michigan get overwhelmed by Michigan earlier this season, and Bazuin was a one man defensive front. While all his linemates were getting knocked backwards, Bazuin was regularly bulldozing his man into the backfield and applying pressure on Henne.
Now, Central Michigan is no powerhouse, but Bazuin was head and shoulders the best player on his defensive unit. He seemed to play with strength and technique, and I came away impressed.
6'2 267, he's built like a Vrabel (listed at 6'4 261). If he has the ability to play in space a la Willie McGinest, the footspeed and instincts to take a TE in coverage to go with his pass rush, he might be worth a closer look on Day One.
Anyone know anything about Bazuin?
