<p>If the <a href="http://dogbytesonline.com/georgia-lb-wilson-eager-to-step-up-into-starting-role-69476/">spring hype</a> is to be believed, a starting four at linebacker is coming into focus:  Wilson and Herrera inside; DeLoach and Jenkins on the outside.  (DeLoach&#8217;s shot is the most tentative, given Vasser&#8217;s experience, which is a trait Grantham values.)  Those coming in now and in the summer will be valuable for depth purposes, but I&#8217;m starting to get a welcome sense of stability at the position.</p>
<p>Compare that to the secondary, where, outside of Damian Swann starting at one of the corner positions, <a href="http://espn.go.com/colleges/georgia/football/story/_/id/9049686/onslaught-unproven-players-battle-spots-georgia-bulldogs-secondary" target="_blank">it&#8217;s about as wide open as it gets</a>.  In fact, it&#8217;s so wide open that it&#8217;s hard to say that much of the two-deep will get locked down before the players coming in this summer arrive.</p>
<p>If you think that makes me nervous about facing Clemson&#8217;s offense in the opener, you&#8217;re right.</p>
