Linebacker Depth

With the lack of depth at Linebacker, and our abundance of defensive ends enrolled and being recruited, does anyone think any of the DE's on the roster stand up and get a shot at Mike or Backer? If so, who fits the bill?

Mike:
Jack Tyler (Senior)
Chase Williams
Devin VanDyke
Andrew Motoukapa

Backer:
Tariq Edwards (Senior)
Deon Clarke

Whip:
Ronny VanDyke (Sophomore)
Jameion Moss (Freshman)

DE:
James Gayle (Senior)
JR Collins (Senior)
Tyrel Wilson (Senior)
Dadi Nicholas
Corey Marshall
Matt Roth
Dewayne Alford
Ken Ekanem
Jarontay Jones

In my opinion, Ken Ekanem at 6'3" 249 lbs and Dewayne Alford at 6'2" 247 are two guys who should get a look, if interested. I believe both played a bit of LB in high school, and if I remember correctly, Ekanem was ranked highly as a LB and recruited by a couple big boys to play OLB in a 3-4. Of course, this depends on their athletic and coverage ability, but I generally like the idea of big scary linebackers.
