One of Georgia Tech’s top priorities coming out of the 2015 season was to improve its pass rush. Whether any of them can be the type of player who can consistently win one-on-one matchups and get into the pocket remains to be seen, whether in 2016 or beyond. But at the very least, they appear to have the potential. And at the least, they’ll also help fix Tech’s depth shortage.
With four signees, the position group is now up to 16 scholarship players. Compare that with 2014, when there were only 11 defensive linemen and one of them (Kenderius Whitehead) was ineligible to play after having transferred and just four of them were tackles.
