After a big graduating class, the Wylie Pirates are retooling their defensive line.

The line was one of the strengths of the defense last sea­son, and the Pirates graduated the majority of their front seven. The defensive line, in particular, lost Austyn Rhymes and Kama­ron Scott. Rhymes had a sack last season to go along with his 19 tackles, while Scott had 25 tackles and two quarterback hurries. They also did a great job of creating opportunities for the linebackers behind them to get upfield and make plays.

Despite the losses, Wylie has a few players returning to the group.
