We do have a ton of names in the DE/DT lists.  Another way to look at it -- do we have the quality and size we need to compete vs the better ACC lines in 2023? How many on your lists are upper-classmen?

I  put question marks next to Lockett, Hough and Jacquez (240) until we see they are 100% recovered from season ending knee injuries.

I hope we don't have to play new 1st year DT Perry or next year's Rs frosh who saw some action -- Bassett (260), Nolton (252), and Jobity (247).  By 2024 these 4 (and Jacquez (240)) may have grown sufficiently to stand up to ACC lines.

We rolled in 2022 with Okechukwu (270), Darton (266), and Geer (238).  Back-ups were Linton (219) mostly in passing situations, Fuentes-Cundiff (267), and Simmons (257).  The expected happened -- our line got pushed around.  Opposing QBs had a clean pocket most of the time.

We could roll out the same bunch, with 10lbs added to Geer, Fuentes-Cundiff and Simmons, but is that enough quality and size?
