The defensive line is going to be a bit different in 2018. Led by Malik Vann, there is a lot of new talent on the roster, supplementing established guys like Marquise Copeland and KEvin Mouhon. The player personnel isn’t the only exciting part. The Cincinnati Bearcats added a veteran presence on the sidelines, with Steve Stripling returning to the program to serve as the defensive line coach. Stripling held a similar role for the Bearcats from 2010 to 2012 and even stepped in as interim head coach during the 2012 Belk Bowl. Since then, he has been working with the Tennessee Volunteers.
