a projected 2014 Early Defensive Depth Chart is released by ESPN, we look stacked at Dback.We really should bump McDaniel over Schellenberg .
"DE: Ryan Mueller (Sr.), Marquel Bryant (Jr.), Laton Dowling (Sr.)
DT: Travis Britz (Jr.), Valentino Coleman (Sr.), Will Geary (RFr.)
Much like the offensive line, K-State has a veteran and productive group along the defensive front. There are still jobs left to be won, but Mueller and Britz are among the Big 12’s best at their positions and provide consistent production. Add ESPN JC 50 defensive tackle Terrell Clinkscales into the mix and this defensive line group should be a big reason to consider Kansas State a conference title contender.
LB: Jonathan Truman (Sr.), Will Davis (So.), Dakorey Johnson (Sr.), Charmeachealle Moore (Jr.)
Truman returns after breakout junior season which featured 89 tackles in 13 starts for the Wildcats. Davis appears ready to slide into the starting lineup after impressing as a redshirt freshman, while Johnson and Moore should provide solid depth at the position but will have to battle to maintain their roles with ESPN JC 50 linebacker D'Vonta Derricott arriving in the summer.
CB: Randall Evans (Sr.), Morgan Burns (Jr.), Nate Jackson (Jr.), Cre Moore (RFr.), Danzel McDaniel (Jr.), Corey Jackson (RFr.)
Burns was one of KSU’s stars of the spring and appears to have settled into the No. 1 cornerback spot. The rest of the Wildcats cornerbacks are battling for the other starting spot outside of Evans, who started 11 games as KSU’s nickelback in 2013 and is lone returning starter of the group. While KSU lost experience at corner, the Wildcats might have upgraded in terms of overall talent.
S: Dante Barnett (Jr.), Dylan Schellenberg (Sr.), Sean Newlan (RFr.), Weston Hiebert (Sr.)
Barnett is a star and one of the more underrated defenders in the Big 12, while Schellenberg got plenty of experience when Ty Zimmerman was sidelined by injury last season. Barnett is probably the only safety with a secure spot in KSU’s defensive plans, so expect the battle for playing time to continue deep into August."

Looks pretty solid.

Add in Riddle, Clinkz, Derricott, and Jesse Mack.

Waters are looking pretty damn calm right about now.
-
I have high hopes for the defense, hopefully it's warranted.
-
Besides Mueller, or DE's suck.
-
This group has the talent and athleticisim to be our best defense since 03.
-
Do our safeties scare the crap out of anyone else? Sure I guess everyone gets burned every now and then but woof.

Can't wait to watch these guys throw up the bones this season! :lynchmob:

The only thing I'm concerned about is making sure Dvonta and Clinks qualify and learn the defense quickly enough to be starters by the Auburn game.
-
with the talent upgraded and tom "purple" hayes at the wheel, this defense will crush big 12 opponents this fall
-

i feel sorry for people that think our defense is going to be good this year. not in a genuine way, but i'm sorry nonetheless.

We will be the best D Auburn sees all year. Won't hold them to lowest point total since we will be their Super Bowl but it will be close!
