With a scheme designed to disrupt opponents’ timing and force the action, the Brock defense has seldom had trouble putting pressure on opposing offenses.

So to bring back a pair of Division I defensive ends who combined for 18 sacks and 136 tackles for loss a year ago almost seems unfair.

But that’s reality for coach Chad Worrell, who in seniors Brett Drillette (Louisiana-Monroe) and Nace Washington (Texas-San Antonio) has a set of defensive line bookends most schools in the state would envy. And it’s a fine reality, indeed, if you ask him.
