To my count in the last 2 classes to date we have recruited a total of 2 defensive lineman and gotten a player to switch sports (Hunt) to play on the defesnive line. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

We've recruited a ton, just not signed 'em up.

42 Jesse Andrew 6-4 266 DE JR-SQ West Lafayette, Ind. (West Lafayette)

99 Marquis Frazier 6-3 281 DL SO-JC Garland, Texas (Navarro J.C.)

90 Kevin Grenier 6-4 250 DE SO-1L Tucson, Ariz. (Salpointe)

92 Margus Hunt 6-8 267 DE FR-RS Karksi-Nuia, Estonia

47 Taylor Thompson 6-6 280 DE SO-1L Prosper, Texas (Prosper)

This is what shows up from last year's roster. Mario Walker and Justin Smart in the mix too...maybe move Fleming back? What happened to the kid from Rusk or West Rusk or wherever? Did he go juco?

thats part of the reason we run the 3-4. Quality DLineman, especially tackles, are hard to find. O'Guin is going to be a good one and I expect him to play quite a bit.

We have to hope they all stay healthy. I keep telling myself that they are going to surprise us with a couple of Juco D linemen.

[SMU 86]

So counting O'Guinn we only have 6 defensive linemen out of really 3 classes. I hope we find some late good qualifiers or good JUCOs. We do not neeed projects at that position at this point in the program since we have very little depth.

Last year my biggest surprise was the D-line play. Mason did an AWESOME job.

We really need d-line help NOW.

Otherwise. XtC and I are going to have to suit up.

We should just offer Ryland Widener, we need DT's desparately

[NickSMU17]

YOu never want to just give offers to give....

This staff will find someone to help whether it be late qualifier or JUCO...and if they don't they obviously are confident enough in what we have

Braylon Williams went JUCO. DOnt know if he played. I hope He redshirted and maybe can come back to SMU with 3 years to play. Also speaking of our other players that went JUCO Beck Coutour semms to have the size to be a hybrid DL/LB if he comes to play for us.

If Chris Atchinson keeps his grades up he may have to move to DT if we have an injury!

What happened to Zac Thomas? Roster says he's Defensive Lineman. Gonna be a Sr.-2L, I believe.
Weighs 280. Seems to me like he could do this.

And frankly, I think Gottschalk could do this too.

We need a JUCO D-lineman. Badly.

I heard Thomas has struggled with a back injury and his career may be over
