Diabate is leading a Utah linebacker corps. in transition after playing 37 games at Florida, including 17 starts.
Late Tuesday afternoon, Diabate was presented with a different angle as he readies to go back to his former collegiate home this weekend. When Diabate emerges from that visiting locker room on Saturday night, he will find himself in a critical spot as Utah’s starting mac linebacker. He also has the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Devin Lloyd, the Utes’ all-everything linebacker who started 13 of the 14 games he played in last season at MLB. Lloyd played in 47 games across four seasons, including 32 starts.
Diabate missed all of spring practice after undergoing shoulder surgery, but was a full participant for fall camp where he has drawn overwhelmingly positive reviews. Diabate helps that cause considerably, especially with SEC-level experience, but beyond him, three of the other five players at the position combine for 57 career games, but only 10 career starts. The other two are a pair of true freshmen, Justin Medlock and Lander Barton, the former Brighton High School star and the crown jewel of Whittingham’s latest recruiting class.
