Just looking at total defense stats, 2 names possibly to know are Appalachian State's Bryan Brown and UAB's David Reeves. UAB ranks 3rd in the country in total defense and App St. ranks 5th.
Before becoming DC this year, Brown was the DB coach for 6 years for App St. and his corners have an FBS leading 30 INT's since 2015.
Reeves is in his second season as a DC and previously coached the defensive line for UAB. UAB currently ranks 5th in the country in total tackles for loss and 1st in the country in sacks.
Obviously guys like Golding are the big names out there and are probably higher up on the board, but these guys have had a lot of success at schools with less talent and could be names to know in the future.
