With the Owls’ season-opener being less than three months away, the UP will evaluate each position group on the roster. Today, we will look at the defensive line.

The defensive line is the frontline of the defense, responsible for stopping the run and rushing the quarterback.

The Owls’ defensive line should be one of the most dominant groups on the team, as they are returning multiple starters in sophomores Evan Anderson and Decarius Hawthorne.
