JACKSON, Mississippi -- There's some top line talent on Arkansas-Pine Bluff's defense, which features three players who were preseason All-SWAC first team.It'll be up to that talent to produce some results now after the defense surrendered 39.2 points per game in 2014, and gave up at least 42 points on six occasions.
Golden Lions coach Monte Coleman apparently tried to address those defensive issues in this past recruiting cycle when he signed nine defensive backs, six linebackers and four defensive linemen.
Those newcomers and some of the returners from last season will look to build upon a defensive foundation set by defensive lineman Demarcus Berry, linebacker Willie Duncan and defensive back Kevin Rucker.
Berry was disruptive coming off the line of scrimmage and recorded eight sacks last season. Duncan was a strong downhill defender against the run and posted 100 tackles.
