New Mexico State Football Preivew 2022: Defensive Line

Fall camp is underway and the defense has gotten a lot of praise from the coaches and reporters out of the gate. As the offense usually progresses a little slower, the defense has come out firing in Nate Dreiling’s new 4-2-5 defense.

The good news for the Aggies is that there is a ton of experience along the defensive line with at least 11 players having played some level of collegiate football. Even better is the news that freshman Sterling Webb has impressed coaches and will see playing time at DT.

Perhaps the most interesting thing will be seeing how the defensive ends do when they are asked to drop into pass coverage, as that can throw off opposing QBs.
