It’s not always easy to name a “starter” when it comes to the modern defense. Different situations require different personnel and schemes, meaning that a team may need to add an extra defensive lineman in one instance while they need to add extra defensive backs in another.
For this reason, we will take a look at the top two players in each defensive position according to the Ragin’ Cajuns officially released depth chart. The 2017 football media guide for the Ragin’ Cajuns lists the following as their depth chart going into this season:
Nose Tackle: Taboris Lee, Tra’Vontae Booker
Bandit: Trevara Miller, Terrence Jones
Middle Linebacker: TJ Posey, Tanner Holmes
Left Cornerback: Levarious Varnado, DJ Miller
Right Cornerback: Damar’ren Mitchell, Troy McCollum
