Mike Elko fielded a top-25 defense at Notre Dame a year ago. Now, he’ll try to do the same in Year 1 on Jimbo Fisher’s staff at Texas A&M.
He’ll have plenty to work with, and like any good defense, it starts up front. Justin Madubuike was the defensive MVP of the spring, but Kingsley Keke, Daylon Mack and Jayden Peevy make defensive tackle a likely strength of the unit.
