According to Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun, the Indianapolis Colts will host a private workout (visit) with USC safety/linebacker Su’a Cravens:

The 6’1″, 226 pound hybrid safety-linebacker is coming off a standout season for the Trojans, recording 86 tackles–including 15 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and 2 interceptions.

Consequently, he earned 3rd-team AP All-American and 1st-Team All-Pac 12 honors for a consecutive year.

Cravens sure sounds like an intriguing prospect with his ability to play both outside linebacker and safety (via his NFL.com draft profile):

"SOURCES TELL US“He’s a lot of fun to watch because he processes quickly like an NFL linebacker and then just fires into the play. I’ve never really cared about the size at the WILL, I just want to know if they have instincts and can run and make plays. That’s it. He can do that.” — Former NFL general manager"

"NFL COMPARISONLavonte DavidBOTTOM LINEPlays with a unique lens that includes his time at the safety position as a freshman. Teams focusing on putting a “tweener” label on him could be making a huge mistake considering his competitive nature and toughness. Cravens was highly disruptive and productive in each of his three seasons as a starter thanks to his tools/traits to act on his instincts. Cravens will help on special teams immediately and could become an early starter for a 4-­3 defense looking for a playmaking weak­-side linebacker."
