The old adage goes “defense wins championships.” There are many players listed below that will help do just that at the next level. As we inch closer to the PLL’s 2021 College Draft, there is a ton of talent on the defensive end. This group includes many guys who were originally projected to be taken in last year’s draft, but decided to utilize their extra year of eligibility.
