The 24-year-old had a regular role in the team's defensive line rotation in both of the last two seasons and was expected to do so again in 2023.

Wonnum at 117 overall. For his part, Baylor's Lynch brings imposing 6-foot-4, 289-pound size and the strength to offer developmental potential as an interior pass rusher.
