per the Daily:
The defensive line has made big plays since the start of the year. Freshman Tai’yon Devers started the year with three strip sacks in the first four games of the season.
Senior Hank Ekpe, Scott Ekpe’s younger brother, is one of the biggest contributors on Minnesota’s defensive line this season.
Hank is tied for first on the team in sacks with three and is tied for second in tackles for loss.
Redshirt senior Scott Ekpe has also made plays from the defensive end position. Ekpe had two fumble recoveries last game against the Fighting Illini.
“I’m a lot heavier,” Scott Ekpe said. “Lot more mature. When I got here, I was 17 and didn’t know a lot about just football, and coming here taught me more about the game. Just playing football and the fundamentals of just going out there every Saturday and giving it your best.”
