#2 Zachary Carter: (Florida)

Zachary Carter's career has very closely monitored Jonathan Bullard's career under Muschamp. Both are/were natural SSDE's that were strong and agile enough to play inside at DT, especially on passing downs, however I think it hindered their development to constantly shuffle them around the entire DL.

Bullard's senior season he played almost exclusviely SSDE and blew up into a 2nd round pick.

Bullard JR Season: 52 tackles/8.5 TFL/2.5 sacks
Bullard SR Season: 63 tackles/18 TFL/6.5 sacks

Carter JR Season: 35 tackles/9 TFL/5.0 sacks

Bullard was the most elite run-stopping SSDE I think I've ever seen at Florida and Carter won't begin to replicate that, but he is a better pass rusher, and in a full season at SSDE (thanks to improved depth at DT), I could see him posting a 65/15 TFL/10 sack season.
