The University of Cincinnati football team is moving on from three key defensive linemen after their College Football Playoff appearance following the 2021 season.
Defensive end Myjai Sanders was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals. Defensive tackle Curtis Brooks went to the Indianapolis Colts, and defensive tackle Marcus Brown graduated. For head coach Luke Fickell and defensive coordinator Mike Tressel, there are plenty of gaps to fill.
With 24 days left before Cincinnati faces SEC foe Arkansas on Sept. 3, the clock is ticking.
Luckily, the Bearcats have a solid base of defensive linemen in Jowon Briggs (junior), Malik Vann (graduate), Jabari Taylor (graduate) and Dominique Perry (redshirt sophomore).
