The Rutgers defensive line has seen a lot of changes in the past few weeks and we’ve been getting a lot of questions about the depth chart. In addition we always get a lot of questions about alignment, usually 3-4 or 4-3 related, as well. Since I played defensive line (albeit in sprint football also known as lightweight), these are all discussion topics I possess very strong opinions about.
Defensive Line returnees: Willington Previlon, Manny Taylor, Elorm Lumor, Julius Turner, Jaohne Duggan, Brendan Bordner, Mike Tverdov, Tijaun Mason (missed 2018 due to injury), Matt Thomas, Jamree Kromah, Robin Jutwreten
Additions: Corey Bolds (JUCO formerly at Penn State), Micah Clark (from offense), Malachi Burby (early enrollee), (Rayyan Buell + Devin Baldwin in summer); Ron Johnson (transferring from Michigan, link here).
