Adrian Middleton and Tymere Dubose are splitting reps at defensive tackle, alongside Matt Elam and Courtney Miggins. The true freshmen have also shown early signs that they can withstand the pressure to play defensive tackle in the SEC.
“From an athletic standpoint, I’m very, very pleased with those guys,” Jimmy Brumbaugh said. “They got speed. They got power. A couple of them have the ability to rush the passer. They have an attention to detail. They want to be good.”
Eliot also said they may move Miggins and other ends who have have enough size inside to tackle.
