The next chapter in our Duke Football Team Preview shifts to the defensive side of the field. Instead of clumping together all the defensive linemen, the defensive ends and defensive tackles are going to be separated in to two different posts. Defensive end is a position that must replace a lot of experience as Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo, Dezmond Johnson, Jonathan Jones and Jamal Wallace depart.
There are only two players on the Blue Devils’ roster that return with experience at the defensive end position. They are Kyler Brown and Britton Grier. Deion Williams also returns to the team as he transitions from linebacker to defensive end.
