Did some quick research to see how other linemen from the portal are performing at their new school this year. Here's the best I could find....
Jared Verse (Albany>FSU) 12 TFL, 5 Sks
Ochaun Mathis (TCU>Nebraska) 4 TFL, 2.5 Sks
Landon Jackson (LSU>Arkansas) 2.5 TFL, 2.5 Sks
Jared Ivey (Georgia Tech>Ole Miss) 5.5 TFL, 4.5 Sks
Lonnie Phelps (Miami OH>Kansas) 8 TFL, 6 Sks
Akheem Mesidor (WVU>Miami) 8.5 TFL, 5 Sks
Keep in mind most have only played 8-9 games and stats don't reveal the entire situation. Out of this group only Mesidor is considered an interior lineman. The majority of edge/interior transfers have stats very similar to Jonah Laulu (1 sack).
TLDR: The portal likely won't solve any of our defensive line issues.
