There’s a debate about who is the best between Bralen Trice and Laiatu Latu and don’t sleep on Brandon Dorlus taking another step up.
There’s also a fresh group of young linemen who look ready to break out, creating a really interesting mix with a lot of depth going into 2023 for Pac-12 defensive linemen.
Here’s my preseason list of the Top 12.
1. Bralen Trice, Junior, Washington

2. Laiatu Latu, Senior, UCLA

3. Brandon Dorlus, Senior, Oregon

4. Junior Tafuna, Junior, Utah

5. Brennan Jackson, Senior, Washington State

6. Ron Stone Jr., Senior, Washington State

7. James Rawls, Senior, Oregon State

8. Tuli Letuligasenoa, Senior, Washington

9. Van Fillinger, Junior, Utah

10. Simote Pepa, Sophomore, Utah

Four sacks as a 6-foot-3 345-pound freshman is nothing to mess with.
11. Zion Tupuola-Fetui, Senior, Washington

12. Jordan Burch, Junior, Oregon

The big-time South Carolina transfer has been solid in the SEC. Can he take the next step in the Pac-12?
