The DT position is the most dire on the team. If either of the 2 returning players gets injured it's going to get ugly. We need Desir-Jones to be able to play 10+ snaps a game and possibly Riles. Both of those give us non-true freshman 300lb DT's.....and again, just 10 or so snaps a game. Then there's Polite. If he's 285 or bigger I think he will play quite a bit. That would give us 5 solid DT's....not All-SEC types, but solid.
We need Slaton to qualify (badly). He'll be another 10-20 snap type player. I'm not expecting the other true freshman to play much, w/ one likely redshirting.
