Tom Lemming's look at the Top 25 Defensive Ends from the Class of 2011.
With the ability to sack the quarterback on any given play, defensive ends can swing the momentum to their team’s side in an instant. Florida Gator fans can expect plenty of sacks in their future, since Jeoffrey Pagan, our second-ranked defensive end, has decided to head to Gainesville next fall.
Over half our defensive end prospects, however, have yet to make up their minds, so this is surely a group of players fans will want to keep an eye on.
