ESPN’s Todd McShay released his preseason top 10 defensive tackles for the 2018 class. Coming in at No. 1 is Michigan senior Mo Hurst. Here’s what McShay wrote about Hurst ($):
Despite being a backup the past two seasons, Hurst has been extremely productive. He has notched 68 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks. While slightly undersized — listed at 6-foot-2, 282 pounds — Hurst is a quick and powerful one-gap penetrator who is highly disruptive against the run. He has a powerful upper body and disengages quickly. He projects as future NFL starter and top-40 pick.
