Because Overshown and Mitchell are both coming back plus the youngsters have caught up to Dele. So PT.

Then if Texas goes 3-3-5 there will be another LB on the field.
Afrer thought going from a four man front to a three man, does personal fit?

Hard to know completely but in my opinion, the players we have at the DL can make the switch. Big A, Broughton, Ojomo, and Goram Welch seem versatile enough to play either the 5 tech of the 4 man front or the 4 tech of the 3 man front. Coburn and Sweat have prototypical size for a 3 man front NG or a 4 man front 1 tech. Overshown can be an OLB or walk up end but is a little lite. Mitchell is the rangy MLB in a 3-3-5 but no idea who plays the other LB. Maybe Prince can be the stand up monster type position where he drops occasionally into coverage and offers some exotic blitzes across the front. Either way, the DBs must play better for any scheme to work.jmho.

Another thing I have to keep reminding myself with the whole 3 man v. 4 man front is that the evolution of offenses, defenses are much more reliant on sub packages now than ever. Although we may have a base of 3 or 4 man front, we will likely see multiple fronts used depending on game plan, opponent, and situations. Either way, I'd think whatever pieces the new staff thinks are missing or short will be heavily recruited through the portal and juco avenues.

Clemson, Oklahoma lead way-too-early top 25 ahead of 2021 season
18
Texas
There is plenty to look forward to in Steve Sarkisian's first season. The Alamo Bowl win over Colorado showed the offense can be centered around bruising tailback Bijan Robinson (8.2 yards per carry in 2020). Casey Thompson was a delightful teaser in throwing for four touchdowns against the Buffs. Come talk to me, though, when Texas beats Oklahoma.

There some good and bad in that article/rankings.
Ohio State should not be ranked that high. They lose so much. Green QB.
Agree with the OU ranking and maybe even Iowa State being in the top 10.
Clemson is another team breaking in a new QB. Hard to take the #1 ranking seriously.
I know Georgia seems cursed, but they have what it takes to make a run and its coming back. Experience at QB.
Aggy's #10 ranking is way too high. They point to Jimbo winning it all in his fourth year at Florida State. I don't think he had a brand new QB to break in while doing it.
