Alualu plays what amounts to a tackle position in a 3-4. Hill is the nose and Jordan is the end. Alualu will be lined up like a traditional tackle, not split wide.

Tyson Alualu is a defensive end, not tackle.

No love for Jared Odrick from Penn State? He’s going into his senior year after being named All-Big Ten 1st team as a Junior. He’s got to be at least honorable mention. Of his 20 solo tackles last year, 9.5 were for a loss to go along with 4.5 sacks.

I think Jared Odrick of Penn State should at least get an honorable mention here. At 6 ft 5 in and over 300 lbs the guy can still move quite well and stuff the middle against the run.
