Defensive Line

DE- Justin Foster

  • Myles Murphy
  • Greg Williams

DT- Tyler Davis

  • Bryan Bresee or Ruke Orhorhoro

DT- Nyles Pinckney or Jordan Williams 

  • Darnell Jefferies
  • Etinosa Reuben

DE- K.J. Henry

One note right off the bat: Xavier Thomas is listed as third-string here because the Tigers are still bringing him along. As he recovers and gets back to 100 percent, he’ll likely ascend up the depth chart and may even become a starter before the season closes out- whether that be on Justin Foster’s side or K.J. Henry’s.

There is a depth among this defensive line unlike anything we’ve seen since the Power Rangers returned a couple of years ago. Both freshmen Bryan Bresee and Myles Murphy should be expected to play some solid snaps and we should expect to see regular rotation throughout the defensive line, which will move back to a four-man front primarily this season.
