There are a lot of pieces on the D-Line for 2022. We have a legit 3 deep this season.
Mesidor and Roberts have flexibility to line up on the edge on early downs and move inside as pass rushers. Roberts is someone I’m hoping can take a step up and stay injury free this season. Kelly is a wild card - heard he is looking like a beast already and I hope he is able to contribute. Ishmael is still another year away from contributing I think.

Jackson is a beast and I think has the best chance to start here. We are a little light at DT and need to add a couple of bigger DT next cycle. Miller has shown some flashes, but also tends to disappear when given opportunities. Hate looked bigger than I expected in the spring game and made a few nice plays. He will battle Miller for the #2 spot.

This may be one of the deepest positions on the team. Taylor has all world talent and showed glimpses of what he can be last year leashing the team in TFL. Harrison-Hunte has teased us with his play. He makes some big plays, but also whiffs on some and gets bullied on others. Hopefully he has added strength and can make more impact plays. Lichtenstein looked good in spring and uses his strength and long limbs to control the LOS. I think he will battle JHH for playing time. Moultrie transferred here, but not sure how much time he’ll get on field with the step up in competition.

Agude and Harvey are 1-2 with Chantz Williams being 3rd and Moss possibly red-shirting or being used situationally as a rusher. Agude brings some good experience and hustle from UCLA. Harvey has a chance to be a break-out player this season. We need these two to make a lot of plays in the backfield. Williams wasn’t as good last year as I thought he would be - he’s a little stiff. Hopefully he worked on hip/ankle mobility this off-season. Moss is a natural talent, but may lack the size/strength this season.
Overall I’m excited to see what we can do bringing in waves of talented players 2-3 deep this season. I can’t remember the last time there was this much competition for time on the DL. I think we have the bodies for Steele to get creative with pass rush packages, as well as have options to add more size/strength if we are getting run on. Can’t wait to see what we put on the field in game 3 vs A&M.
