Calling it now this defense is going to be the most overlooked unit in the entire SEC next season and. everybody wants to talk about Oregon stacking five stars and Texas landing every quarterback in America and somehow we have. Let them sleep. We have been reloading the front seven for two years now and nobody wants to admit it because we do. What makes me so confident is the way the staff has built this thing since the 2025 season ended. We lost some guys to the league sure that happens when you recruit at an elite level. But the pieces we brought in through the winter window and the guys who have been developing in the system. Our linebacker room has more combined experience than most programs wish they had. The defensive line rotation is going to be ten deep by August and we are going to wear people down. I keep seeing these preseason previews from the national guys and they always mention the same programs for defensive dominance. Ohio State is getting all the hype after their spring. Alabama always gets the benefit of the doubt. But nobody is talking about the fact that we return more production in the secondary than any team in the. The scheme is proven. The culture is proven. Kirby has three national titles for a reason and it is not because he forgot how to coach defense overnight. The Riddle situation is going to be handled internally and I trust the program to do what is right. But that is one guy in a room full of talent. We have other safeties who have been waiting for their shot and they are going to surprise people. Our recruiting in the back end has been elite for years even if the national media only wants to talk. We landed Kaiden Prothro at tight end sure but people forget we also added some serious depth pieces on defense.
