Rush Through the Roster: #34 DeDe Lattimore

#34 - DeDe Lattimore - LB - 6-1 238-pounds - RS Junior - Athens, GA (Cedar Shoals HS)

2011 stats: Lattimore started all 12 games last season at the WILL linebacker position and was named 2nd All Big East. Lattimore finished the year with 94 tackles (career high), 13 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 1 interception, 2 PBU, 2 FF, and 1 FR.

Position on depth chart: Lattimore is listed as the starting WILL linebacker again, he is a 2 year starter at the position entering the fall camp.

2012 projection: Lattimore has improved every year he has been a starter for the Bulls and the 2012 season could be the best yet.  Lattimore is a very fast and aggressive linebacker that is often sent in blitz packages and gets behind the line of scrimmage.  He is solid in pass coverage and can tackle in open space.  He is one of USF's best players and could have a huge season for the defense.
