Preseason football position preview: Defensive Line

The George-Anne will be previewing each position group leading up to the start of Georgia Southern football season, Aug. 31. Next in the series of previews is the defensive line.

Defensive End

Departed: Deshon Cooper, Logan Hunt, Josh Johnson.

Returning starter: Raymond Johnson III, junior.

Other returning players: Elijah Campbell Jr., redshirt-freshman; Justin Ellis, redshirt-sophomore; Quan Griffin, junior; Dillon Springer, redshirt-sophomore; Traver Vliem, redshirt-junior; Kaylen Wright, redshirt-freshman.

New players: Thomas Cook, redshirt-freshman; Amaru Herring, freshman; AJ Watkins, freshman.

Outlook: Losing Logan Hunt will be somewhat of a blow to the Eagle defense, but there’s plenty to be excited about when it comes to the defensive ends this season.
