Top 16 Impact Defenders

Jeff Allen doesn't have a major defensive rep due to the fact that he's an undersized five-man, but it's hard to ignore the statistical evidence of his contribution to the nation's 20th-most efficient defense. He leads the Hokies in defensive rebounding percentage (22.2, 96th nationally), block percentage (4.8), and steal percentage (3.8, 52nd nationally) -- all of which indicates he's a high-impact defender on one of the ACC's stingiest teams.
