Farrell’s Top 5 ACC Defensive Lines

— We roll onto the ACC for top-tier defensive lines and there aren’t a ton of surprises here.

---

1. Florida State

— Jared Verse is the best rush end in the conference and there is solid depth up front. This should be a strength for the Seminoles.

2. Clemson

— Ruke Orhorhoro and Tyler Davis are one of the best DT duos in the nation and they just need an EDGE to emerge (Xavier Thomas finally?).

3. Miami

— Leonard Taylor is elite and Akheem Mesidor should have a breakout season.

4. Pitt

— They lose a lot but I’m not betting against them as they’ve produced linemen consistently and are always near the top in sacks.

5. Louisville

— Jermayne Lole is a nice addition and Ashton Gillotte is a name many don’t know but soon will.
