The Big 12 featured some seriously impressive defensive line play in 2017, but what can we expect from conference teams' defensive fronts next season?
Two of the conference's best players along the defensive front in 2017 -- Oklahoma's Ogbonnia Okoronkwo and Kansas' Dorance Armstrong -- are headed to the NFL. Still, the Big 12 figures to showcase numerous talented defensive lines next season, especially the teams near the top of the league.
Here are the five best Big 12 defensive lines heading into the 2018 season:
1. TCU
The Horned Frogs lost impact defensive end Mat Boesen, but Ben Banogu's return means TCU's defensive line arguably will be the best in the conference next year.
