Depth Chart Overview

Denaud looks like he is ready to contribute due to his great frame and has some slight experience due to enrolling early. While this could lead to some early playing time, it is extremely tough for freshmen defensive linemen to have a significant role in the SEC.

Regardless of his role this season, he has the potential to be an impact player moving forward and is certainly a player to monitor.
