With spring ball less than a month away, we've been ranking the position groups in the Big 12. These evaluations are based on past performance, future potential and quality depth of the entire group. Our outlooks will probably look different after the spring. But this is how we see them at the moment.
We continue this series with the defensive line:
1. Oklahoma: There isn’t a clear-cut No. 1 defensive line in the Big 12 going into spring ball, but the Sooners get the nod by virtue of owning the most depth. Charles Walker is one of only two returning All-Big 12 defenders after recording six sacks and 10 tackles for loss last season.
