Never Before Covered 2023 DL’s

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>I am doing a review of defensive linemen who have received some or no written coverage. The 5 defensive linemen in this review have displayed the skills to fight through being double-teamed, shutting down inside running plays, and disrupting plays before they develop. The 5 defensive linemen are overdue for recognition for their performances on the field.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='355046' first='Donovan' last='Dozier'] - 6'3" 235 (No. 48 DL, No. 371 Overall), Cardinal Gibbons HS</strong>.
