2023 Spring Practice Notes - Defensive Line

Butler could be used interchangeably. Getting Riley Van Poppel, Maciejczak, Lefotu, Carroll-Jackson as big guys will help with some depth I would think. Goldman may also play defense but I think he will most likely play OT. A transfer at both lines would be very welcome. Especially another nose/big. 
Sucks that none of the guys you listed were early enrollees as they could be getting some good reps this spring with a couple starters out.  Van Poppel looks pretty mature and will probably have as good of shot as playing as a freshman as any DL ever will which is still not ideal.  Maciejczak obviously has the brute strength but I have no idea what we should expect from him.

Correct but we have Wallen, Lenhardt, & Umanmielen on campus. And Jeudy. But more big bodies are needed. 

 
I think we should be shopping for one in the portal post spring.
100%. I think they will try and get one maybe more on both sides. Another inside linebacker would be welcome as well.
