2026 Roster
Summary
Only 5 DTs roster-wide; Woods' system uses tempo/easy buttons offensively, pinching/rotations defensively to mask DT size shortage.
DeadRed said... (original post) something that really stands out to me is we only have 5 DTs listed and I don't see any that are missing from our signees for next year - even Fr. ...

Loooong way to go to be a representative FBS program on the LOS.
Woods' system is predicated on covering up a lot of that with tempo and easy buttons on offense and pinching and rotations on defense, but the size is going to have an impact no matter how you slice it at DT. Definitely going to be a one-gap, upfield system that seeks to shoot gaps and cover RB's that forces them to cutback into flow of defense. I don't know yet if they'll play a lag NT often, or if they tag and skip gaps with stunts etc. that requires movement up front.
SMU plays a smaller DL and moves/stunts their DT's so often I would expect that's what we do based on the size profiles of the front and the coaching tree.
