Spring Position Roundup - Defensive Line
March 12, 2016 | Cowboy Football
STILLWATER - Losing Emmanuel Ogbah and Jimmy Bean from this group is significant, but even with those two gone, there are seven defensive linemen returning who have made plays in games.
Junior defensive tackle Vincent Taylor is the leader of the group. His 48 tackles and 5.0 sacks in 2015 were the highest totals for any interior defensive lineman during the Mike Gundy era (2005-present).
On the interior, Taylor will be joined by senior Motekiai Maile, redshirt junior Vili Leveni and sophomore Darrion Daniels, all of whom have made plays for OSU in the past. Leveni missed all of 2015 to injury.
The top candidates to replace Ogbah and Bean at defensive end are redshirt sophomores Jarrell Owens and Jordan Brailford.
