Defensive Fronts in Mount Union Defense

Defensive Fronts in the Mount Union Defense

The foundation of any dominant defense starts up front. In this detailed clinic, Coach Daryl Ely breaks down the multiple front structure that powers the Mount Union defensive system — one of the most consistent and disciplined programs in college football.

This course gives you a complete look at how Mount Union builds flexibility and aggression into its defensive fronts while maintaining gap integrity and assignment soundness. Coach Ely walks through each front’s structure, personnel usage, alignment rules, and situational application so you can understand not just what they run — but why they run it.

Inside this course, you’ll learn:

• The structure and philosophy behind the Eye, Owl, Tiger, and Panther fronts

• How the Wolf, Eagle, Badger, and T-Rex fronts adjust to offensive personnel and formations

• How to incorporate stunts and movement to disrupt blocking schemes

• Detailed breakdowns of movement calls like Y-Slant, Omar, Odin, Oscar, Mason, and Becky

• Teaching progressions and communication systems that allow your players to execute with confidence

Coach Ely explains how each front fits within the larger defensive philosophy, giving you tools to build multiplicity without overwhelming your players.

If you want to control the line of scrimmage, create confusion for offenses, and build a flexible front structure that can adjust week to week, this course provides a complete blueprint straight from the Mount Union defensive system.
