Defensive Line

Starters
DE-Jalen Wilkerson, Brian Burns(Passing Situations Sub), Joshua Kaindoh (Back Up), Janarius Robinson (Back Up)
DT-Demarcus Christmas, Walvenski Aime (Back up), Arthur Williams (Back up), Cedric Wood (Back up), Darvin Taylor (Back up)
NG-Derrick Nnadi, Fred Jones (Back up)
Buck-Josh Sweat, Jacob Pugh (Back Up)

One of the best defensive fronts in the country along with Clemson. If Brian Burns can be effective against the run, he’ll be on the field more times than not as he’s a lethal pass rusher.

Christmas and Nnadi return from last season as starters along with Josh Sweat who came on strong at the end of the season.

It’ll be hard to replace DeMarcus Walker and end  but Wilkerson and Robinson have improved since last season. There will be a lot of depth on this line, not counting five-star Marvin Wilson, Ja’Len Parks and Cory Durden who’ll be here this summer.

Also, true freshmen defensive end Tre Lawson will be here this summer.
