Bryant, Joseph and Fields are all juniors who will be returning for their senior seasons, while Ferrell is a redshirt sophomore who was eligible for the draft. Ferrell had 9.5 sacks last season, while Bryant had 8.5 sacks. Both defensive linemen were potential high draft picks. Joseph, a linebacker, had 10 tackles in the CFP game loss to Alabama.
