At the heart of UVa's revamped defensive front is the nose tackle and for at least one season, that will be senior Donte Wilkins. And a lot is riding on him playing at a high level this season.
In this video interview, Wilkins talks about other parts of the defense he's excited to see develop, what his role is like at NT, his background in the 3-4, if he feels any pressure given the lack of depth on the defensive line, and why he thinks this scheme brings so much versatility both for him and for others.
