When UH head football coach Dana Holgorsen was asked what position has stood out so far in training camp, he did not hesitate to heap praise on the defensive line.
“‘Sack Ave’ is not dead,” Holgorsen said. “We’ve got some guys that look pretty good rushing the passer.”
Despite losing key pieces such as founding members D’Anthony Jones and Derek Parish to the NFL, the aptly-named defensive line room has once again shown to be arguably the deepest position group on the team with returning players such as junior interior lineman Chidozie Nwankwo.
“We’ve built a really good room,” said defensive line coach Brian Early.
