Was crunching some numbers for every defensive line in the Sam Pittman era, and finished with these results (height and age are estimates):
2023 DL (16 scholarship players)
Average age: Junior
Average height DE: 6-4
Average weight DE: 271.7 lbs
Average height DT: 6-4
Average weight DT: 326 lbs
2022 DL (13 scholarships)
Average age: Junior
Average height DE: 6-3.5
Average weight DE: 258.4 lbs
Average height DT: 6-3.5
Average weight DT: 302.5 lbs
2021 DL (13 scholarships)
Average age: Junior
Average height DE: 6-3.5
Average weight DE: 250.8 lbs
Average height DT: 6-4
Average weight DT: 302.1 lbs
2020 DL (15 scholarships)
Average age: Redshirt sophomore
Average height DE: 6-3.5
Average weight DE: 254.4 lbs
Average height DT: 6-3.5
Average weight DT: 302.5 lbs
The 2023 Razorback defensive line is the oldest, deepest, tallest and biggest across DE and DT. There's been a lot of talk about it being a true three-deep, and the stats on paper seem to back that up. Good things on the horizon for that group
