The SWAC has not a had a defensive lineman drafted since 2011 (Frank Kearse,AAMU). IMO the SWAC has become a finesse league that runs mostly spread concepts and defense has suffered for it. My question is are the coaches struggling to recruit the positions or is there just a lack of player development? The answer is probably some where in the middle. There is a chance that FAMUs Isaiah Land will break the streak in 2023, but I believe he’s a day 3 pick at best. JSU is thriving bc Coach Prime prioritized the front 7 and even when their offense struggles, the defense bails them out. I hope the rest of the league embraces the value of the front 7 and improve the overall quality of defense in the league.
