Way-too-early rankings of the SEC defensive units leading up to the 2024 season

The SEC may trail the Big Ten for defensive power rankings in 2024, but the Texas Longhorns will play some of the best defenses in the country. So, where do the Horns stack up?

Similarly to the Horns' break from the Tide, Texas won't have to face the Tigers in 2024, and that includes getting to avoid LSU's defense.

Kylin Jackson, a redshirt freshman, stood out amongst his peers in the LSU spring game, looking comfortable in his safety position. While Jackson was covering pass attempts, the Tigers' pass rush excelled against the offensive line.
