One of the best defenders in the SEC (and in the entire country) this year has been South Carolina DL Javon Kinlaw.
The big, strong defensive lineman has been a one-man wrecking ball on some plays, creating chaos in opposing backfields. Because of that ability, he’s getting some legitimate first-round buzz in regards to the 2020 NFL Draft.
On Wednesday, Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said Kinlaw is one of the best players he’s seen in a while:

Pruitt isn’t wrong. Kinlaw already has a career-high 5 sacks this season. Look at the strength and agility Kinlaw shows on this sack against Alabama:
