Counting down the Pac-12’s best defensive linemen coming into 2018
Greg Gaines Sr. DT Washington - Gaines has been a rock for the Huskies for years now and will step into the spotlight this year with Vita Vea off to the NFL. He’s 320 plus of nasty and the conference’s best run defender.
Porter Gustin Sr. DE USC - Probably the conference’s best pass rusher when healthy Gustin has first round size, athleticism, and skills. He’s a player offenses have to game plan around who can drive tackles crazy.
Jalen Jelks Sr. DE Oregon - The 6’6 Jelks is deadly in the backfield in run and pass defense. He’s a versatile athlete who’s scary to line up against with an NFL body.
