| Looking forward to seeing who will end up starting at the LB positions. Posted by LsuTigers80 Lamin Barrow for sure starter IMO. Kwon and Debo are raw, and should gain some weight this offseason. Tahj Jones is good, but he can't seem to gain weight lol, he has been the same weight since he's got to LSU. Then there's Fiest that could play MLB. And Beckwith if he plays linebacker. Also Lamar Louis is solid. And Melvin Jones coming in is a big dude. The depth at Linebacker is something I think LSU hasn't had in a while. Who you guys got starting? Reply Back to Top |
| The 3 starters will be some combo of Tahj Jones, Kwon, Barrow, and Feist. I thought Lamar Louis disappeared too much, but he did get some nice PT in some games this year. Reply Back to Top |

| I agree with you, I didn't see Louis doing much but he did get a lot of PT. Reply Back to Top |
| OLB - Kwon Alexander MLB - Lamin Barrow OLB - Tahj Jones/Debo Jones i think it's safe to lock Kwon into one of the starting spots This post was edited on 1/28 at 1:49 pm Reply Back to Top |
| Kwon,Debo,Barrow. You didnt mention Lorenzo Phillips has he fallen to one of those players who will see late minutes in scrub games Reply Back to Top |
| Debo is going to be very special once he locks down that starting spot. Reply Back to Top |
| I would rather Kwon step into the MLB as he looked good filling in for Minter. Barrow is in a great spot and does very good at OLB. Tahj Jones at the other OLB. Reply Back to Top |
| I thought Kwon played OLB? I know he played OLB vs UF. Yea, Debo is gonna be awesome. We actually have some depth at LB right now. Reply Back to Top |
| I think Debo is the most athletic and fastest linebacker on the team. If he gains 10 to 15 pounds this offseason he is going to be beast. Reply Back to Top |
Posted by ATLTiger on 1/28 at 2:27 pm to LsuTigers80 if no one switches positions, I think this is your 2 deep to start spring: Mike - Welter/ Feist Will - Barrow/ Debo Sam - Tahj/ Kwon a lot of us think Barrow might move to Mike, so that'd move Debo up (or possibly Kwon over to Will). lotta possibilities, it'll be interesting to see.

| yep after missing the regular season with the academic thing, he was 2nd string at Mike in the bowl game and made a couple tackles. Reply Back to Top |
| that's right. he and Tahj both came back and got some PT in the bowl game. I forgot he was suspended too. Reply Back to Top |

| he only got mop up duty this year. He's gonna have to wait before getting serious PT. We have some experienced depth at LB now. Reply Back to Top |
| They're putting 15 pounds on kwon and moving him to the middle. Reply Back to Top |

| I can't see that. Barrow will play MLB. Not a guy that has only played a few snaps Reply Back to Top |
