all going to shift over to defense and if we have some time maybe even a little bit of a
00:03
special teams talk I'm going to begin up front with the defensive line my top unit is Clemson
00:10
we've talked about this in the past Clemson extremely talented on both sides of the ball
00:15
no more so than along the defensive line off the edge best pass rusher in the country TJ Parker
00:22
he's a force he's a future first round draft choice on the interior Peter Woods is a name
00:28
I think we'll discuss a lot this season and a lot in the pre-draft process not healthy last year
00:34
but the best defensive tackle in the country he is a backfield wrecker again didn't see it last year
00:41
wasn't 100% I think you will this year DeMonte Capehart on the interior all ACC caliber and will
00:48
help and we've talked in the past about Dabo Sweeney his aversion to the transfer portal he
00:55
tapped the portal to get health away from Purdue if if Dabo's in the portal you know the kid is good
01:01
I think opposite TJ Parker's going to have a great season now quickly Oklahoma's my close number two
01:07
I bring it up because Oklahoma's going to be sneaky good this year Brent Venables his fingerprints on the
01:14
top two defensive line Clemson where he used to coach and now Oklahoma watch the Sooners in the
01:20
trenches going to be very good this year now linebackers my top unit Scott is going to be
01:26
the Texas Longhorns best linebacker in the country in Anthony Hill they also have coming off the edge
01:33
outside linebacker Trey Moore former UTSA star they went out and got Brad Spence from Arkansas
01:41
this is a very good unit but Hill really is the one that moves the needle makes plays against the run
01:48
makes plays in past defense he is outstanding he's our top linebacker unit close number two Pittsburgh
01:56
we've talked about Kyle Lewis in the past kind of has a twin and Rasheem Biles really good playmaker
02:02
all of their starting linebackers returning this year double digits and tackles for loss last year now
02:09
my top defensive backfield this might be a bit of a surprise it's Alabama you know Alabama in the
02:15
era of Caleb DeBoer we talk a lot of offense Ryan Williams quarterback questions that secondary
02:21
returns four starters top 10 in pass efficiency defense last year went out and got Cam Calhoun a
02:28
top cornerback from Utah watch Alabama in the secondary and as I promised special teams two units to watch
02:35
this year Iowa Hawkeyes Kirk Ferentz special teams always a priority there in Iowa City and the Georgia
02:43
Bulldogs Iowa and Georgia kind of you know those little differences in close games watch those two
02:50
teams when it comes to special teams those are the best units on defense and special teams entering 2025
