Oscar Lua #45
Inside Linebacker
USC
Ht: 6'1
Wt: 240

Strengths: Excellent size. Physical linebacker. Shows the ability to shed blocks and get into the backfield. Decent athletic ability. Reliable in zone coverage.

Weaknesses: Not a great natural athlete. Doesn't show the speed for man coverage. Too much of a one dimensional linebacker; only excels against the run. Doesn't have ideal starting experience.

Comments: Lua's stock took a huge hit when Rey Maualuga beat him out for the starting middle linebacker spot. Lua has a nice upside but will have to prove his speed won't be an issue at the next level. He projects as a mid round selection.
