Breaking down the anchors of the defensive - the defensive tackles.
Darryl Render is back after being a three year contributor and a starter in 2014. Render is athletic for his size, and has a chance to put up good numbers for plays in the backfield. Render is the leader of a very deep unit on this defense, and should be set for his best season yet for Pitt.
Khaynin Mosley-Smith is another senior with a ton of experience in his career. Mosley-Smith will take on more of a nose guard role, and be more of a space eater than Render.
