Summary
Virginia Tech’s defensive line is poised to be a powerhouse this season, anchored by All-ACC returnee Kemari Copeland, who dominated with sacks and tackles for loss last year. Elhadj Fall adds veteran presence, while transfers Samuel Okunlola and Eric Mensah bring immediate impact potential. Young talents like Javion Hilson and Mylachi Williams are ready to compete for snaps, creating depth and energy. The key challenge? Getting consistent pressure from the edge—Copeland’s interior dominance could be undermined if the ends don’t step up. With Copeland and Fall locked in at DT, and Aycen Stevens leading the DE race, the unit has the mix to be a conference standout—if the edge rushers rise to the occasion.
