Since no one has done a 2026 defensive lineman preview yet I thought I would do one. College football is rich with white defensive line talent so there are a lot of names.
John Henry Daley - Michigan
Future first round pick coming back from an ankle injury. The most disruptive guy I've seen since JJ Watt against both the pass and the run.
Will Heldt - Clemson
Senior for Clemson. Rangy pass rusher with 12.5 career sacks. Usually listed as a top 10 prospect on NFL mock draft boards at the edge position
Adam Trick - Texas Tech
Productive senior pass rusher with great bend and natural pass rush moves. 13 career sacks so far. Listed as a day 3 pick on most mock draft boards.
Luke Wafle - USC
Number #1 2026 prospect at the edge. True freshman that's already making waves on the field
Derek Coleman-Brusa - Washington
Another freshman wunderkind this time on the interior. Has already picked up his first sack and looks like a monster.
Isaac Terrell - Iowa
Smaller edge guy at 6'2" 250 that has already picked up 3 sacks in his first career game at Iowa State. Has great agility and footwork and a really weird sack celebration that I don't understand.
Alex Van Sumeren -USC
Senior transfer from Michigan State, a really powerful and mobile interior lineman that can split double teams and impose his will in the run game
Eli Coenen - Michigan State
This is a guy that's really coming on right now. An absolutely monster sized 6'6" 287 pound interior wrecker that already has 3 sacks this year.
Fisher Camac - Virginia
A bit of an under the radar guy but I think he's really special. Again this dude is massive 6'7" 260, long arms, and is a tremendous athlete off the edge. Has 13 career sacks entering his senior season.
Elisha Baldridge - FIU
Has come out of nowhere but it's clear from watching some film on him that he's a special talent. Originally from Division II Ashland. Has already been making plays all over the field and has 2 sacks through the first 2 games.
There's a lot more, I'll try and get to it when I can.
