Welcome into another episode of the PFF college football show Max Chadwick alongside Dalton Wasserman here with my top 10 returning defensive tackles in college football entering the 2025.

Season and Dullin, we're done with all the offensive rankings now on this channel.

Now we're going over to the defensive side of the ball and once again it's a very good defensive line grouping that we have in college football.

It is for sure.

And staying in the trenches, obviously, like we did earlier in the week with the offensive line.

This is really where teams separate themselves when it comes to winning and losing ball games.

Why the SEC and the Big Ten and some of these bigger, you know, more well-known teams and the higher-ranked teams are so special

because they have these types of players in the trenches that get it done,

both in the past game and the run game. Absolutely. Yeah, we lost a lot of great defensive

tackles to the NFL this past year. Obviously, Mason Graham was a top five pick to the Cleveland

Browns from Michigan. His teammate Kenneth Grant is gone as well. Walter Nolan was a first rounder

as well. So we're losing a lot of great defense tackles from

college football, but still have a lot of really talented ones coming back for another year.

I want to remind you guys that these lists I make were obviously made off of watching the players,

but also a lot of it has to do with the PFF stats that we have that are also available to you guys

with a PFF plus subscription. So go to subscribe.pf.com today to get access to all of those stats.

You can make your own top 10 returning defensive tackles.

Tell me how stupid my list was in the comments below as well.

And of course you get access to our beautiful 2026 NFL mock draft

simulator where you could draft some of these defense tackles for your favorite team using that mock draft simulator as well.

All right, Don, my honorable mention defensive tackle is actually a guy that a lot of people probably expect to be in the top 10 because he is a guy who's getting a lot of buzz right now for the 2026 NFL draft.

That is Caleb Banks from Florida.
