Nebraska Football Position Breakdown: Defensive Line

Note: For the first time in four years, the Husker defense will not have a new coordinator and for the second year in row, strength & conditioning is no longer optional as it was the previous three. I’m a sarcastic prick - people know this - and I’m getting my hopes up.

Coach – Mike Dawson

Defensive Line – 2018

(* - denotes returning player)

Contributors in 2018:

a) Khalil Davis – Despite not starting a game, Davis was the Huskers Defensive Lineman of the Year and Honorable Mention All Big 10 totaling 41 tackles
