Poll: Best Ever Defensive Tackles

Cast your vote and state your case for the best ever defensive tackles at BYU. Note this is only for interior defensive linemen, there is another poll for defensive ends. There were a lot of nominees, so there is an "other" option.



The top two vote-getters will be enshrined in the CougarCorner All-Time BYU Team, so you get two votes.



Here's the nomination thread--continue any debate, baby kissing, etc. in this thread.

If you can find youtube videos, that would be fun to reintroduce younger fans to the old-school.

What we all remember about Eathyn:

poll says the top 2.

Yes, it really is the top two, not top three as the post erroneously said.

At least half of the guys on the list were defensive ends--why are they listed? Buck and Knight were definitely defensive ends, as was Olsen and I think others.

I went off the best information I was able to find via byucougars.com and cougarstats.com.

Olsen was not a defensive end because he played a right next to Chris Hoke, and Setema Gali and Ryan Denney were the ends. Now I can't say for sure about Buck and Knight but with the size of a man that Knight was I can't see him playing outside especially in the era that he played I did find conflicting reports one stating that he was a DE and the other said tackle. http://www.byucougars.com/media_guides/football/2010/tradition/outland.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Transfers Jason Buck, a defensive tackle, and Mohammed Elewonibi, an offensive guard, won the Outland in 1986 and 1989, respectively
