If we can find a guy I'm all for it but I'm optimistic about our existing talent. I think if Collins or Broughton were in the portal (glad they aren't) they would be the best defensive tackles avaliable behind Walter Nolan who Texas showed no interest.

I know a DT in the portal would be nice and I fully expect Sark to grab a couple before next season starts. However, I'm excited about some of the young guys already on campus. I think Alfred Collins and Vernon Broughton will be solid. They may not be All Americans but they have a lot of game reps and both will be playing for NFL contracts. I expect at least the same level from these two as I saw from them last year and would be surprised if they both don't improve. I think Tapp, Bryant, Bledsoe and Mitchell should all take a step forward. The heavy rotation Texas used last year will be a huge benefit because many of these guys saw significant playing time. I'm not expecting the dominance we saw last year but I don't think its doom and gloom either.
