The 6’5 340-pound Vea is ready to turn into Danny Shelton and a Top 10 draft pick in 2018. Gaines might actually be just as good as Vea and the best run defender in the conference. The rest of the group is experienced and talented.
2. Utah (DE Kylie Fitts Sr. DT Lowell Lotulelei Sr. DT Filipo Mokofisi Sr. DT Alan Havili-Katoa Jr. DE Bradlee Anae So.)
The Utes are still lights out on the defensive line. Lotulelei had a disappointing 2017, but has first-team All-American talent. Fitts is a first-team All-Pac-12 player who missed 2017 due to injury.
