Part II here was split off from Part I: The Offense because the defensive attrition was coming fast and furious. Since that post Villari and Filiaga have entered the portal. As for the defense/special teams:
Played out eligibility: Brad Hawkins, Jordan Whittley, Elijah Pierre.
In the portal: Anthony Solomon, Darion Green-Warren, Andre Seldon, George Johnson III.
NFL Departures: Aidan Hutchinson, David Ojabo, Daxton Hill, Chris Hinton, Vincent Gray.
