4/14: Swapped Chi Chi Ariguzo from strong-side to weak-side linebacker... made Traveon Henry the starter at safety opposite Ibraheim Campbell...
2/28: Added updates from Inside NU's notes on the team's offensive line at spring practice.
Notes: I slotted in Kyle Prater filling in Demetrius Fields' starting spot... other options could be Mike Jensen or Pierre Youngblood-Ary, listed as his backup last year... Jorgensen and Frazier are injured, but guessing they'll be starters over the guys playing their positions in spring ball even though they did not start last year.
