Tulane's defensive line was built around the play of former star defensive tackle Tanzel Smart for the past two seasons, but things will be a little different in 2017.
After Smart was selected by the Los Angeles Rams in the 2017 NFL Draft, the new leader along the Green Wave defensive line became veteran edge rusher Ade Aruna.
Tulane will lean on playing more multiple fronts in 2017 as a way to give opposing offenses different looks, and Aruna's versatility will be the key to unlocking this new scheme.
