Golston recorded 43 tackles as a senior, with nine sacks. With former East English Village Prep product Desmond King having one of the most decorated seasons in Iowa football history, the relationships that defensive coordinator Phil Parker has built there and in Detroit kept Golston solid. Golston eventually received offers from Cincinnati and Western Michigan. Golston and fellow East English Village Prep teammate and D-lineman Cedrick Lattimore committed to the Hawkeyes together last May. Iowa was the first to offer Golston, who is the quintessential defensive end starters kit at 6-5, 227 with long arms and legs. I'll save any further analysis (or whatever you want to call it) for the Four Downs DL post that will hopefully come out before spring practice. Let's refresh our memories on the January depth chart (head coach Kirk Ferentz said, yeah, it's a January depth chart, but also said it's where you start and I do believe it's as honest of an assessment we're going to get from the staff until we get spring updates, probably beginning at the end of March). Patience and development, it's going to take some time.

With nine players in the redshirt and true freshmen part of this group, a heavy investment has been made in the future.

They're really being counted on the grow this year. Nelson played well in his limited opportunities last season. Hesse has the beginnings of a productive player.

Defensive end isn't deep and isn't terribly experienced.

It has four for 2016 and then it drops considerably. For Iowa, three experienced DTs is realistic four is fantastic. After 2016, Bazata will be the only DT who's played. If Kyle Taylor is 6-2, can he play on the line of scrimmage? Is Nick Niemann a defensive end? That should add up to 17 with possible movement within the freshman class from end to tackle and other positions. True freshmen: E Chauncey Golston, E Cedrick Lattimore, E Romeo McKnight, E Austin Schulte, E Brandon Simon Redshirt freshmen: T Garret Jansen, E Anthony Nelson, E Brady Reiff, T Michael Slater

Sophomores: E Parker Hesse, E Matt Nelson, E Sam Brincks Juniors: T Nathan Bazata, T Brant Gressel Seniors: T Jaleel Johnson, T Faith Ekakitie, T Kyle Terlouw He's still in limbo (and that is a crime, he's not been able to hire an agent and trainer to help him work through the elbow and knee rehab because he's waiting for the Big Ten and/or NCAA to decide on his petition for a medical hardship waiver and a fifth year of eligibility, if I were him, I'd sue at this point for lost opportunity). I'm going to include two walk-ons who are on the latest depth chart and, for now, we need a "Drew Ott" category, because nothing has been decided on his case. Kind of like with the O-line post, I think we need a 'who's who' of the defensive line just to keep the accounts straight.
