Nose Guard

Jordan Kelley and Kori Roberson showed growth in 2020, and both are expected to get snaps behind starting nose guard Perrion Winfrey. Kelley recorded nine tackles, two tackles for loss, and a half-sack last season. Roberson notched 12 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and a sack in his first full season of play.

The interior of the defensive line could see heavy substitutions versus Tulane. Both Kelley and Roberson will relieve each other as well as Isaiah Coe to keep everyone fresh.
