3. Defensive Line

The amount of depth along the defensive line is absolutely unreal.

The Tigers return everyone in the two-and-three deep from last season except DE Logan Rudolph (retirement) and DT Xavier Kelly (transfer).

With names like Tyler Davis, Xavier Thomas and Nyles Pinckney ready to reprise their roles, and with names like KJ Henry, Jordan Williams, Justin Mascoll, Justin Foster, Bryan Bresee, Darnell Jefferies, Ruke Orhorhoro and Myles Murphy looking to make major leaps, there will be plenty of competition throughout this spring.
