In his career, Winters tallied 246 tackles and 33.5 tackles for loss, the most of any Frog on the 2022-2023 roster.

If there's one thing Georgia coach Kirby Smart knows it's defense. The former protege and defensive coordinator for Nick Saban is one of college football's top defensive minds and heading into Monday's national championship game vs. TCU, Smart is bullish on the Horned Frogs' unique 3-3-5 defense. "Coach (Joe) Gillespie does a hell of a job," Smart said of TCU's defensive coordinator Sunday. "It amazes me the job he does consistently even from Tulsa. We played Cincinnati a couple years ago, and Tulsa by far and away did the best job against Cincinnati. And we became enamored in that when he was doing it then." Gillespie has successfully transitioned TCU from Gary Patterson's style to his own in just one year. It hasn't been flawless, but the Horned Frog s have improved across the board in his first year leading the defense.Gillespie said he wanted his players to master the defense back in August. As TCU prepares for game 15, he's pleased with the progression he's seen the unit take towards that g oal. "Well I think we've come as close as we can," Gillespie said. "We can do a lot of things now from a defensive standpoint. They have so many experiences now, so many games, so many notches under their belt. It's been a constant installation through t he course of the season. Now when you start making adjustments it comes very fast to them." The speed of understanding adjustments in real time translates onto the field, where Smart was impressed with the quickness and tenacity the Horned Frogs play wit h. "Take all the scheme part out. It's how you play and strike people," Smart said. "When you watch them strike blocks with hat in hands and the speed with which they play downhill and just strike people, it's a beauty. It's a thing of beauty to myself b ecause I enjoy watching really good defense. And they play it. And it's very unique." - Fort Worth Star

TCU linebacker Dee Winters likely would've had a number of schools interested in him if he wanted to transfer amid the coaching change from Gary Patterson to Sonny Dykes. Winters had a team-leading 74 tackles last season and ranked second on the team in tackles in 2020. But he has opted to stay in Fort Worth for his senior season under the new staff. "The reason why some guys left is because the defense didn't fit them," Winters said earlier this spring. "But the reason I stayed was to pick up my brothe rs. We had some guys stay, so I wanted to be a part of that and be something great." Winters said the idea of playing under defensive coordinator Joe Gillespie was intriguing, too, given his success running a 3-3-5 scheme compared with Patterson's signat ure 4-2-5 defense. "I know Coach Gillespie coached at Tulsa and they've had a great defense the past few years," Winters said. "So I wanted to see what that was like, and widen my variety of defenses that I've played in. Playing in a two-man linebacker b ox, playing in a three man, so that can give me better options in the future." - Fort Worth Star
