Coming in to the 2019 season, the Georgia Tech Defensive Line loses every tackle for loss they had as a unit in the 2018 season. Sure, it wasn’t a huge number of TFL in the first place (25 by the DL alone, ~2/game), but that’s not a great spot to be in if you’re a Defensive Coordinator. While nothing is certain about what kind of scheme first-year Defensive Coordinator Andrew Thacker will roll out come Labor Day weekend, I believe that TK will play a significant role in the defense for 2019.
Measuring out at 6’3” 300 pounds, Chimedza is a run stopping force that will be paramount to setting up a solid front seven for the Jackets.
