Exclamation Two Sun Belt players named top 25 returning DL for 2020
From Pro Football Focus

Quote:20. EDGE Raymond Johnson III, Georgia Southern

Johnson, a rising senior, has been starting for Georgia Southern since Week 6 of his true freshman campaign in 2017 and steadily improved his pass-rushing each time he stepped on the field, taking his pass-rush grade from 63.9 to 78.1 to 83.4. The pressure numbers have stayed relatively the same, but his win rate jumped to 19.1% in 2019 — helping him produce a WAA that’s the 13th highest among returners.

Quote:19. EDGE Demetrius Taylor, Appalachian State

Taylor was a big piece to Appalachian State’s one-loss 2019 season, ranking among the 20 most valuable defensive linemen returning next season. There was a bit of lull midyear, but when the Mountaineers needed Taylor the most, he delivered. In their Week 4 upset over North Carolina, Taylor had the best game of his career by recording an elite 91.1 pass-rush grade, seven pressures (three were sacks), two forced fumbles (one of which was a strip-sack touchdown) and an interception. If it weren’t for Taylor, Appalachian State likely wouldn’t have won that game. On top of that, Taylor had seven pressures in his team's bowl game victory over UAB.

I can think of another one that they left out, most likely since he was injured for most of last year.
