Defensive Tackles
​​​​​​
1) Mason Graham | 6'5 | 318 | DT | Michigan
8/31 - Fresno State - Graham had a great game. He was very stout at the LOS, even took on double team blocks well. He showed strong as a pass rusher, used good hand fighting and rip moves. Notched 4 tackles.
9/7 - Texas - Graham had a good game. He drew double teams often, allowing others to be posted up 1:1, or run free. Despite Texas having the upper hand all game, Graham never quit fighting.​
​
2) Tyleik Williams | 6'2 | 323 | DT | Ohio State
​
3) Derrick Harmon | 6'5 | 315 | DT | Oregon
4) Walter Nolen | 6'4 | 290 | DT | Ole Miss
​
5) Deone Walker | 6'6 | 348 | DT | Kentucky
​​​
6) Kenneth Grant | 6'5 | 339 | DT | Michigan
8/31 - Fresno State - Strong at the LOS, was tough to move of his base, kept his LBs free. He wasn't sexy, but he did his job very well.
9/7 - Texas - Grant met his task today. While he created formidable challenge, he was handled 1:1 by pivot man Jake Majors a number of times. Grant won his reps at times too, but he wasn't able to dominate up front like we've seen prior.​
​
7) Shemar Stewart | 6'6 | 290 | DT/DE | Texas A&M
9/14 - Florida - Had a very good game, showed plus strength and explosion off the snap.
​
8) T.J. Sanders | 6'5 | 298 | DT | South Carolina
​
9) Shemar Turner | 6'4 | 280 | DT | Texas A&M
​8/31 - Notre Dame - Turner had a very good game. He showed constant hustle throughout this game, working off blocks and chasing down plays in pursuit. He stacked at the LOS, showed good hand usage, and was able to create pass-rush pressure.
10) Ty Robinson | 6'6 | 310 | DT | Nebraska
​​
11) Omarr Norman-Lott | 6'5 | 335 | DT | Tennessee
​​​​
12) Tonka Hemmingway | 6'3 | 295 | DT | South Carolina
​​​​
13) Jamaree Caldwell | 6'1 | 325 | DT | Oregon
​​​​
14) Dontay Corleone | 6'0 | 320 | DT | Cincinnati​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​
15) DeMonte Capehart | 6'5 | 315 | DT | Clemson
8/31 - Georgia - Capehart flashed in spurts all game. While he did take his lumps against a stout O-line at times, he was able challenge them on many snaps, one a few of them.
​​​​​​
16) Patrick Jenkins | 6'2 | 293 | DT | Tulane
​​​​​​​​
17) Aeneas Peebles | 6'1 | 290 | DT | Virginia Tech​​​
​​
18) Alfred Collins | 6'5 | 321 | DT | Texas
9/7 - Iowa State - Collins did his job up front in a rotational capacity, made running the ball inside a challenge. He wasn't dynamic, but sturdy.
​​
19) Rylie Mills | 6'5 | 295 | DT | Notre Dame
​8/31 - Texas A&M - Mills wasn't flashy, but what impressed me was his ability to stack at the LOS when playing both DT and base DE. He looked like a valuable 3-man front prospect.
​
20) Tim Smith | 6'4 | 302 | DT | Alabama
​
21) Ty Hamilton | 6'2 | 290 | DT | Ohio State
​​​
22) Vernon Broughton | 6'4 | 305 | DT | Texas
​​​​​​
23) Tyler Onyedim | 6'4 | 295 | DT/DE | Iowa State
9/7 - Iowa - Onyedim lived at base DE this game, and he didn't fair real well. While he came off the ball hard and showed some good explosion for a big man, he didn't hold edge contain, and his aggression was used against him. He was washed out of plays too often, didn't carry out his assignments.
​​​​​​​​​​
24) Yahya Black | 6'5 | 315 | DT | Iowa
9/7 - Iowa State - Black held down zero-tech responsibilities often, and didn't disappoint. While average as a pass rusher, that wasn't his assignment. Instead, he created log jams up front, making run lanes inside relatively moot. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​
25) Aaron Graves | 6'4 | 300 | DT | Iowa
9/7 - Iowa State - Graves didn't blow up the stat column, but he impressed. He was very strong up front, freed others up to make plays. He looked like he could play inside or as a base DE quite well as a run defender.
​​​​​​
26) Nash Hutmacher | 6'4 | 310 | DT | Nebraska
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
27) Howard Cross III | 6'1 | 288 | DT | Notre Dame
​8/31 - Texas A&M - Cross' lack of size was an issue a few times, as he was driven off his spot, leaving a run lane open. However, he flashed a number of times, using a great inside rip move to disrupt both pass and run plays. His high motor was evident all game.
​​​​​​​​​
28) Joshua Farmer | 6'3 | 317 | DT | Florida State
​8/24 - Georgia Tech - Despite carrying good size, Farmer wasn't a formidable road block against GT's run game. GT ran the ball right at Farmer a number of times with too much success. This was a down game for a player who's supposedly rated as a top-150 prospect.​​​​
​​​​​​​​​​
29) Thor Griffith | 6'2 | 320 | DT | Louisville
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
30) Joey Slackman | 6'3 | 304 | DT | Florida​
8/31 - Miami - While Slackman looked average, I'm not sure him being in a 3-man front benefits him. When having to take on the duties of a traditional zero-technqiue, he was too easily hemmed up, not able to make an impact.
​​​​​
31) Bear Alexander | 6'3 | 313 | DT | USC
​​​​​​​​
32) Davin Vann | 6'2 | 280 | DT | North Carolina State
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
33) Nazir Stackhouse | 6'3 | 320 | DT | Georgia
​8/31 - Clemson - Stackhouse looked very average in this game. While Clemson had middling success running the ball at times, not much of that can be attributed to Stackhouse. He didn't anchor overly well, nor use arm extension to press blockers off his frame. ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
