ATHENS - Georgia Bulldog linebackers CJ Allen and Raylen Wilson spoke with the media on Tuesday to preview spring practice and more...

CJ Allen:

On what it’s like being an upperclassmen on the team now…

“It's definitely a blessing to be one of the older guys in the room. I’m coming from being a younger guy, so I kind of have the experience of being a younger guy and know what they're going through and things like that. So it's definitely a blessing. I wouldn't say it came fast. We feel like it came fast, but you're just trying to meet those guys in the room and lead the team.

On how things have shifted with the team with 14 players leaving…

“I think just them, it's always gonna be them, no matter who's here and who's left. Those guys, they're going, they can't help us with what's going on, so we're trying to focus on who's here and who's on the field with us now.”

Raylen Wilson

On areas of improvement...

"My main thing is probably tackling and  just knowing where everybody is and knowing where my help is at in the defense."

On what was working towards the end of sophomore season...

"I got to give credit to really the play calling. Schumann, I feel like he does his best to put us in a good position to make good plays out there.  So, I feel like that credit goes to him."

On being a leader in the linebacker room...

"With us, we try to lead by example, but you got to be vocal as well. So that's the main part we're improving on, being more vocal with others and pulling everybody along."
