Defensive Powerhouses
The SEC boasts some of the best defensive players in college football, with rising sophomores Colin Simmons from Texas and Dylan Stewart from South Carolina leading the charge as edge defenders. According to PFF, Simmons is highlighted as the Preseason Defensive Player of the Year.
