Spring Position Update: Defensive Line

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Middle Tennessee had a lot of question marks along its defensive line heading into 2017 spring practices, but this year the frontline looks much more solidified.

As the Blue Raiders wrap up week one of spring drills, they'll do so with nine players returning that made at least one start along the line last season. Part of that was due to injuries for several linemen, but nonetheless plenty of experience was gained for what was a relatively young group.

With a more-experienced group and less questions to answer, fifth-year MT defensive line coach Tommy West is in store for what he thinks will be a fun spring.
