Wow, didn't know he moved to DE. Well, whether he plays DE or LB, I think he'll have a good career for us. He was a highly regarded recruit coming out of HS in Illinois.

Sorry he's an LB..
LOL Thank goodness, We have enough freaking linemen, we have 2 starters graduating afte this season, we will need Konrath at LB.
I always thought height for a LB was an overrated quality. If I had to chose between height versus speed, I would take speed everyday. We need linebackers who can go sidelines to sidelines and have a nose for the ball. Hopefully Kevin is one of those guys with size, speed, and instincts and he has a great football career before it's all said and done.
Saw a clip on the Advertiser site when UH was scrimmaging, and a streak blurred across the line to make a tackle in the back field. After rewinding it several times to try to catch the number, I finally made out that the blur was KK41.
Da boy has instincts and for a skinny buggah, he sure does attack. I luv dis kid!!!
Here are the other LB over 6 feet
8 Tyson Kafentzis LB 6-1 220 Sr. Richland, WA
13 Brashton Satele LB 6-1 245 Jr. Mililani, O`ahu
33 C.J. Allen-Jones LB 6-2 220 Sr. Aberdeen, MD
40 Po'okela Ahmad LB 6-1 225 So. Kapolei, O`ahu
41 Kevin Konrath LB 6-3 220 Fr. Chicago, IL
53 Blaze Soares LB 6-1 240 Jr. Kane`ohe, O`ahu
Well, with the exception of Allen-Jones, I'd be surprised if any of those other LBs is actually 6-1" (bet some are under 6-0"!). And Allen-Jones is now a DE according to Tsai's March 30 blog.

Ah, no sweat. He should get some PT this season but might have a chance to start after Sol and Adam leave.
