HokieHaven.com posted a video interview with Jack that focussed on him replacing Bruce as the leader of the LBs and a leader on the defense: http://virginiatech.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1492988. It's worth the watch. I noticed they mentioned Ekanem as one of the younger linebackers, "Tyler has already seen a lot of potential from the next wave of linebackers, which includes Deon Clarke, Ken Ekanem and Dahman McKinnon." I know a switch to LB during Ekanem's recruiting process was something that was talked about, but he's still listed as a defensive end (6-3, 242). Although, he wasn't on the initial 3-deep.
I wonder if a move has already happened, or if they are working him at multiple positions to see where his future is brightest.

He reminds me of the "Grimm Reaper"
Ekanem played DE in the open scrimmage today. Did not see him play linebacker at all.
Noticed that too.
