| 0:04.3 | as a defender for the first time in his college career this upcoming season that is |
| 0:07.6 | Abduo Carter from Penn State so dude if he's never played edge defender before in his collegiate career why on earth is he a top 10 edge in the country? |
| 0:16.3 | Because we have evidence that he's a great pass r usher right you've got an 89.7 pass rush grade that would have been 14th in the country last year and a 23.5% pass |
| 0:26.7 | rush win rate that would have been second in the power five behind Leatu Lattu. |
