Edge rusher is the single biggest hole on this roster and I will not hear otherwise. We got some bodies in the winter portal window but nobody that screams difference maker off the edge. Greg Schiano built his entire reputation on defensive lines that wreck games and right now we do not have that one guy who commands a double team on every snap. Watching what Oregon is doing with five 5-stars in their 2026 class makes me sick because we are out here fighting for 3-star projects while they land blue chips who can rush the passer from day one. The 247 composite has us sitting decent in the top 25 nationally but when you break down the position breakdown we are thin at edge and it shows. We need a silent commit or a portal bump at this spot before summer or we are going to watch every Big Ten offensive line just wash us out of games again. The staff knows it too because I am hearing noise about a couple OVs being lined up for June that could flip this whole narrative. If we land a true edge rusher with a 247 composite above .9000 that changes the entire ceiling of this defense. Otherwise we are just spinning wheels hoping scheme beats talent and that does not work in this league anymore.
