There are going to be some nasty hits coming from SEC defenders this upcoming season.

ESPN Insider Travis Haney put together his list ($) for college football’s top 10 defensive triplets, selecting programs with the best trio of players at each level: a lineman, a linebacker and a defensive back.

As you might have imagined, the SEC is well represented. But what might raise an eyebrow or two is just how dominant  it is — the top five teams listed come from the south. Check it out:

1. LSU: Lewis Neal (DE), Arden Key (LB), Jamal Adams (S)
2. Alabama: Jonathan Allen (DE), Tim Williams (LB), Eddie Jackson (S)
3. Texas A&M: Myles Garrett (DE), Shaan Washington (LB), Armani Watts (S)
