Texas football has a lot to be excited about on the defensive side of the ball for the 2018 season, under defensive coordinator Todd Orlando. One of the Longhorns’ best returning defensive players is rising senior outside linebacker/defensive end Breckyn Hager.
The major problem for the Horns involves losing other defensive lineman like Poona Ford and Naashon Hughes to the NFL. That means losing a few key sacks from each player and nearly 12.0 tackles for loss between the two lineman. Ford’s presence as the anchor of the defensive line will be sorely missed for this Texas defense altogether.
