College programs are always looking for that guy to plug the holes in the dam. If you pay close attention to the NFL Draft each year, you\u2019ll notice the pros are looking for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s tough to find a good interior defensive lineman, whether it\u2019s your standard tackle in a four-man front or a \u201cNose\u201d, otherwise. No matter what, you know their stats won\u2019t be as gaudy as a great defensive end\u2019s stats are, but they\u2019re just as important to the D-line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a bunch of them returning this fall to the FCS<\/a>. Take a look, conference by conference:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

BIG SKY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

David Rowe, Idaho State, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 36 tackles, 10 TFLs, 4 sacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rowe is a home-state talent for Idaho State and a true credit to The Gem State. He has racked up 121 tackles in his career to go with 18.5 tackles for loss as an interior defensive lineman prospect. This All-Big Sky player is one of many good ones returning in the league, along with Dallas Afalava (Idaho), Matt Herron (Weber State), and Matthew Brown (Eastern Washington) \u2013 just to name a few.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BIG SOUTH-OVC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eriq George, Tennessee State, Soph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 25 tackles, 6 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, 4 hurries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

George is the young guy, and we also could have gone with a guy like Lindenwood\u2019s Kobe McClendon \u2013 who plays D-end in college but is built like a D-tackle prospect and tells HERO Sports he\u2019ll play anywhere someone asks him. No matter how you go with it, these are a couple of 2024 standouts in the making in the Big South-OVC. George seems primed to explode onto the scene \u2013 2023 was just a hint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CAA\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Westley Neal Jr., Rhode Island, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 25 tackles, 5 TFLs, 4 hurries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neal is a Miami native, and his ability has roots in that talent-rich corner of the country. At 6-foot, 315 pounds, he moves more quickly than one would expect for his size, and he causes serious problems. Watch out for him on special teams, too \u2013 he can block a kick. Bryant\u2019s Michael Otty, Maine\u2019s Izaiah Henderson, and Neal\u2019s new teammate, Sacred Heart transfer Carson Primrose, are expected to be standout CAA D-linemen too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IVY<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Josiah Green, Dartmouth, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 46 tackles, 7.5 TFLs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green has been a key contributor for two years, going on three now. An All-Ivy League performer, he has one brother who played at Brigham Young, and his twin brother Micah who is also with Dartmouth as a linebacker. Green is a classic nose guard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MEAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jaden Taylor, North Carolina Central, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 51 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 4 sacks, 3 hurries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor opened eyes when he finished with 8 tackles and 0.5 TFL against UCLA last year, going on to a very active 2023 season. He has posted 143 career tackles and 19 TFLs. He started his career at Mercer but has a home with the 9-win Eagles, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MORE:<\/strong>\u00a02024 Preseason Preview Central<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MVFC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eli Mostaert, North Dakota State, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 37 tackles, 4 TFLs, 3 passes defended<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostaert has been around a while since signing with NDSU back in 2019. With COVID and an injury in 2022, he will be in his sixth year with the national powerhouse Bison. The Minnesota native has posted 120 tackles, 21.5 TFLs, and 13.5 sacks during his career so far, and undoubtedly will add to it this year. Players like South Dakota\u2019s Nick Gaes and SDSU\u2019s Jarod DePriest are just a couple of other standouts on the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eddie Bierals, St. Francis (PA), Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 26 tackles, 5.5 TFLs, 3 sacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bierals has been a mainstay for the Red Flash defense for the past three seasons, and he\u2019s back for another. A New Jersey native with a wrestling background, he\u2019s a brawler up front and has the career numbers to back it up.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\n
\"promo-page-banner\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PATRIOT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sam Buerkle, Fordham, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 35 tackles, 4.5 TFLs, 4 fumble recoveries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buerkle has certainly been noticed within the Patriot League, with most of those highlights coming last year as a sophomore. This Ohio native led the team with four fumble recoveries and started all 11 games at defensive tackle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PIONEER<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Darryn Kindles, Davidson, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 23 tackles, 8.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks, 2 forced fumbles<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindles was a team defensive captain last year as a junior, starting every game. He was an All-Pioneer League selection for the Wildcats. Before 2023, he had a 2022 season-high four tackles against Jacksonville State and a 2021-best five tackles in the FCS playoffs against Kennesaw State \u2013 with both opponents now residing in the FBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOCON<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Marlon Taylor, Chattanooga, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 30 tackles, 9 TFLs, 5.5 sacks, 4 hurries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor is a terror, like an out-of-control bowling ball that ran into a wall and won. He\u2019s 6-foot-2, 322 pounds, and can flat-out move or plug a necessary hole and is already catching the eye of pro scouts. His career: 68 tackles, 16 TFLs as a block-absorbing \u201cNose\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SOUTHLAND<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caleb Williams, Lamar, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 58 tackles, 6 TFLs, 3 hurries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Williams, a Houston native, was an All-Southland Conference member last year and posted some impressive numbers. He has 15 career starts \u2013 mostly coming last year \u2013 and at 5-foot-11, 290 pounds he\u2019s built perfectly for the interior defensive line. Stephen F. Austin\u2019s Edward Bobino III is also a big Southland name in the interior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SWAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

James Ash, Florida A&M, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 32 tackles, 6 TFLs<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ash, a Tampa (Fla.) native, started his career at Wake Forest before coming to play for the 2023 HBCU National Champion Rattlers. Standing 6-foot-4, 280 pounds, Ash looks the part and plays it too. Look for a dominant season in the SWAC from this Sunshine State native. Jackson State\u2019s Jeremiah Williams is another good one in the SWAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UAC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rylen Sua-Filo, Southern Utah, Jr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2023 STAT LINE: 28 tackles, 7 hurries, 5 TFLs, 3 sacks<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sua-Filo was very active when he opened 2023 and held his own against two Power Conference teams \u2013 Arizona State and Brigham Young. That set the tone for a year where the Utah native turned heads and got on the radar for 2024 as a top FCS interior defensive lineman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
