Big Ten 'backers: For Trinity Senior, Yancich was the more impressive of the two linebackers. He has a longer frame, longer arms and has better pursuit speed. Yancich avoids blockers well and keeps his feet although he can be swallowed by bigger blockers at times. He has fluid hips and drops into coverage well.

Sweat was a little more stocky than expected as he doesn't have a long frame or long arms. He's a physical player and good at the point of attack and takes good angles, but he's not as fast as Yancich sideline to sideline. Sweat looks like a pure inside linebacker while Yancich could play either outside or inside.

Both linebackers also play running back on offense but neither has a future on offense at the next level. Sweat is built more like a fullback and is a more physical runner while Yancich has lighter feet and is more elusive but can get tripped up more easily.
