via Estes, Kirby Smart has indeed switched to coaching the LBs while new assistant coach Jeremy Pruitt is working with the DBs. Gut reaction: This is Pruitt's first swing as an on the field coach at the college level, and knowing Saban's hands on approach with the secondary this allows Smart, who needs no learning curve considering his experience with and knowledge of the defense, to handle the LBs while Saban gets to look over Pruitt's shoulder instead of just throwing the new guy to the wolves from day one.
Also, via Chase Goodbread's feed, Mike Marrow is working at TE, Undra Billingsley is back with the DL, and HIghtower, Jeramie Griffin, and Damian Square are out of the black jerseys after knee injuries last year. More good tidbits from him keep coming, so be sure and follow.

Marrow...
… Marrow at tight end is not a surprise, and honestly neither is Billingsley moving back to the other side. Marrow was going to have to play at either tight end or H-back if he was going to stay on offense, and with Vogler coming in that gives us a few big body guys there, so Billingsley becomes a bit more expendable.

H-back in our offense...
is basically the FB. Even Huber (who would play FB in UGA’s offense) played a little H-back in our offense. Except all he ever came in was on goal line plays, and all he ever did was fly like Superman over the line.
