Lutrus is poised for huge senior season

Both Lawrence Wilson and Scott Lutrus were named as top senior NFL linebacker prospects by NFL.com.  North Carolina was the only other school to have two players named (Quan Sturdivant, Bruce Carter). 

Wilson came in at number 4, and Lutrus at number 12 :

4. Lawrence Wilson, OLB

College: Connecticut
Height/Weight: 6-0 3/4, 220

Wilson has outstanding talent and started 37 of 39 games played after being redshirted in 2006. He has 4.6 speed in the 40, has the ability to play in space and had 10 or more tackles in eight games last season. He is a good special teams player as well.

12. Scott Lutrus, LB

College: Connecticut
Height/Weight: 6-2 1/2, 240

Lutrus is a fifth-year player, who has started 32 games, but played with injuries most of the 2009 season. He was a high school running back, and has great speed and smarts. If healthy, he should have a big senior season.

Here’s the rest of the list :

Good timing for the Huskies who are in the midst of trying to keep top in-state linebacker Graham Stewart at home…

Sounds like the pipeline is likely to continue. Really psyched to watch Scott Lutrus play this year.
