@Brian Hadad list

Jeff Simmons
Fletcher Cox
Jimmy Webb
Montez Sweat

I'd put Greg Favors over Montez Sweat but I asked my cousin - he considered Favors a LB.

How do you leave out Glen Collin and Tyrone Keys?

We need to list 7-8. You have rotate Defensive Lineman regularly
Collins & Keys have to be on this list and probably Chris Jones.
Tyrone Keys will live in infamy cause The Super Bowl Shuffle

TOO SOON! It has only been 25 years.
I get PTSD even thinking about the Arizona Western trio. Kahlil Nash, Michael Oyefesobi, & Dannie Snyder - Nash was high profile, the other two were like Plan C after MSU missed on big juco recruits.

Hadad’s list is accurate, but short one.
Simmons - may be the best player to ever wear maroon
Cox
Webb
Sweat
Number 5 is tough. It’s not Jones, he wasn’t even an all-conference guy in school. Billy Jackson? I’ll always have fond memories or Willie Evans so he gets my biased vote.

Me. I was a mean nose tackle in 9th grade.

Simmons, Cox, Jones, Collins, Keys and interchange Sweat. Preston Smith, Billy Jackson honorable mention for me.

If I’m remembering right, that Arizona Western Juco team had a record right around .500. Probably should’ve been a clue that they didn’t have 3 SEC defensive linemen on their roster.

Just adding the following to the discourse mainly for nostalgic purposes:

Willie Blade
Toby Golliday
Dorsett Davis

Tyrus was an EDGE. He played coverage and rushed the passer. He wasn’t squeezing and spilling.

Montez Sweat should be in everyone’s list. Freakish human being. He’s just as disruptive in the NFL as he was at State.

While his NFL career was underwhelming, Glen Collins was a 1st team All American and a 1st round pick. He’s gotta be on a list like this.

Jackson was a LB I thought

Pink Floyd.sixpack · Friday at 9:50 PM

Pretty sure he was as an edge but Derrick Rush was solid too

Jimmy Webb’s had a pretty interesting life after football…

I think this is the best answer as well.

Lucifer Morningstar · 2026-07-04T21:25:43-0500

Easy answer, and no disrespect to the others, but Simmons. I will keep saying until I die I will always hate Captain ring size for wasting that defense.

RopeDawg · 2026-07-04T23:49:01-0500

Preston Smith was better than Sweat. Not by much thought
