Tariqious Tisdale - DL

77.4

Tisdale hasn't played more than 30 snaps in a game all season, but he has five quarterback hurries and eight third or fourth down stops to get off the field.

Josiah Coatney - DL

Benito Jones - DL

73.8

Jones has three sacks and 13 quarterback hurries on the season. Six missed tackles are the only negative in what's been an excellent season for the senior.

Austrian Robinson - DL

73.5

Robinson has two sacks and 12 hurries while blowing up eight drives this season. He has five missed tackles, contributing to a 29.5 tackling grade.

Ryder Anderson - DL

71.1

Anderson has been out since the Alabama game with an injury but qualifies with 165 snaps this season. He's been consistent with grades around 70 in all categories and has improved greatly from back-to-back seasons with a final season grade of 58 both years.

Honorable Mention: Sam Williams just missed the cut with a season grade of 70.4, but he has five sacks on the year and is improving weekly. Without much football in his background, Williams seems poised to blow up the rest of his career with the Rebels. He hasn't missed a tackle in six straight weeks.
