The Cowboys have one more defensive playmaker to replace on the interior for 2022.
On Wednesday, senior defensive tackle Israel Antwine announced his intention to declare for this spring’s NFL Draft, forgoing a possible additional year of eligibility.
Given his experience and production — and with other departures — Antwine was a player Cowboy coaches would have probably preferred take the NCAA up on its extra year of eligibility due to COVID.
In 13 games in 2021, Antwine recorded 20 total tackles, four tackles for loss and three sacks. He also added two QB hurries.
