How is your schools shaping up? Clemson has freshman all American Dexter Lawrence along with all American Christian Wilkins returning. Wilkins is moving back inside after playing end last year. Idk how teams will deal with those two on the inside. Clellin Ferrell is returning who came on strong towards the end of last year. He's a 15 sack guy this year. Austin Bryant is also back after a injury last season that left him limited. This d line is just scary. I'm sure Ohio state and of course Bama will have comparable lines

We are experienced for the first time in a while, even with our most experienced guy coming off a pretty sig injury. Also like a lot of teams, Arden Key on every passing situation will be more like a stand up edge rusher, so he automatically makes our group pretty stout.

We also have some new big nasties that are 300+ and can move.

He is a beast I was disappointed when we lost him but understood the decision.

Great at DT. Vita Vea will likely be a 1st round pick at 6'5" 345 and Greg Gaines is incredible and was 1st team all Pac-12 as a Soph last year.

Some decent depth along the line with Jaylen Johnson as well, but not much except for potential on the edge. Looking for breakout years from Benning Potoa'e and Levi Onwuzurike.

Still will be the best DL in the Pac-12 by far.

I hope key is healthy and plays. He's a fun guy to watch. Marvin Wilson at FSU will be this years dexter Lawrence. Putting up huge numbers as a freshman

I think Washington can get back to the playoff. It was pretty obvious browning was playing through injury during the end of last season

Pretty good but depth is a huge issue

I am not just saying this cause I wish Wilson was at LSU but he is making a huge jump in competition between SPC/private schools to ACC.

He is easily the best player to come from the SPC in awhile but the o-line/d-line almost always take a year or two to mature.

Agreed, he is a freak and what DA does with him is awesome. He moves around the hole line and LBs just mess with blocking schemes.

And you missed a bunch that will play a lot of downs.

Sprinkles
Landers
Hill (starter)

They've talked about utilizing 5 down lineman at times this season. We'll see if it happens.

Even so, the level of depth and the rotation will wear opposing O lines out.

Potentially could be very good, depth is finally starting to improve. Rasheem Green will be one of the best Dlinemen in the nation, IMO. If former 5 star, Kenny Bigelow, can stay healthy we should be pretty formidable. True freshman, Marlon Tuipulotu, already has the coaching staff raving about him.
