How Loaded is UGA at DT - Part 1 DeAngelo Tyson

UGA may have the most depth at DT, this year, in the history of college football. I kid you not, UGA may have 5-6 players to get drafted at this one position. Incredible depth like I have never seen before at this position in football. And it couldn't have come at a better time with the loss of Knowshon, Mo Mass, and Stafford on the offensive side of the ball.

Notice that DeAngelo was a Parade All-America his senior year of high school and named the most improved defensive tackle from a group that is astonishing on paper. Congrats to UGA and their fans for this group of DTs.
