The defensive line for the Frogs was a position group that was quietly very good for the Frogs in 2022. The 3-3-5 scheme that defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie runs requires defensive linemen to take on less glamorous roles that don’t show up in the stat sheet as often but are incredibly important to the success of a defense. Eating up blocks to keep the linebackers free to make plays is chief among those responsibilities assigned to the defensive line, limiting the number of counting stats such as tackles and sacks that defensive linemen are able to rack up. The 2022 group excelled in this less flashy role and although the Frogs return some key players, there is a lot of turnover at the position meaning TCU will be relying on some less experienced players in 2023.
