Five Newbies to Watch For: DE Quon Griffin
Countdown to Kickoff: 74 days
Some six months into the switch to a 3-4 defensive front under new coordinator Nate Woody, the defensive depth chart has yet to shake out. A few starting spots in the front seven seem to have been essentially locked up, but there’s plenty of room for players to work their way into the rotation.
That is especially true along the defensive line, which was one of Tech’s weakest units a year ago and struggled against both the run and the pass. Seniors Anree Saint-Amour and Desmond Branch have the inside track to start, but nothing is certain behind them, and anyone who can make an impact could easily earn playing time.
