What could Minnesota's defense look like this season.
The transfer portal is officially closed and we are 114 days away from the Gophers opening their 2024 season vs. North Carolina. With new first-year defensive coordinator Corey Hetherman, what could their defense look like?Last season, Striggow and Logan-Redding led the Gophers in total snaps at the position, while Joyner wasn't far behind. Anthony Smith had a big role as a redshirt freshman. Chris Collins , is the only player of significance that the team lost at the position.
This is a position that will need to show development for the Gophers. A step up from Eastern and development from Owusu or Luther McCoy, who have not played meaningful snaps in their career, would be imperative to have a strong interior. This is one of the more questionable positions on the team.The linebacker position was ravaged by injuries last season for the Gophers.
Tariq Watson and Tyler Bride , both transferred after seeing time last season, but Za'Quan Bryan came on late in the year with 25 snaps in the last two games as a true freshman. TCU transfer Jai'Onte McMillan will also have a chance to play nickel cornerback, as he possesses supreme athleticism. Former three-star high school prospect Rhyland Kelly has a strong chance to see the field, entering his third year with the program.
