2011 Top 25 Defensive Tackles

By Staff Report Oct 5, 2010, 9:04am

Tom Lemming's look at the Top 25 Defensive Tackles from the Class of 2011.

Home is sweet for our top three defensive tackle commits. Anthony Johnson of Louisiana, Desmond Jackson of Texas, and Antwuan Woods of California will all play locally next year, heading to LSU, Texas, and USC respectively.

But even though those three are locked up, three of our top five players are still undecided, including Villiami Moala, a 6-2, 320-pound defensive tackle out of Grant High School in Sacramento.
