We have 2 linebackers committed.

Our D-coordinator is Aranda. whoever he puts out there will be ready. Once again he's an amazing coach, but we forget he thinks outside the box and puts the team in position succeed. We didn't run a true 3-4. our defense can easily change to a 4-3 with a stand up end
.
Mock Depth Chart

Buck End- Key, Anthony, Sci

DT- Loc, Alexander, Wilson, Valentine, Shelvin

DT- Godchaux, Lawrence, Herron, Gilmore, Farrell

DE- Washington, Logan, Clark, Thomas, Moffitt

MLB- White, Voorhies, Garnett, Rice

SLB- Divinity, Thornton,

WLB- Thompson, Alexander, McQueen

CB-Toliver, Smith, Vincent
CB-Jackson, Fulton, Greedy

FS: Stevens, Paris, Lewis
SS: Battle, Monroe, Delpit

Notes: I think Paris will make a move to safety, too much young talent to fight off ironically I think Stevens will start at FS . his ball skills are too good plus being an early enrolle I think he'll take the spot early in the season. Once again its just my prediction on how I think Aranda will make the personnel fit. Looking at this, our D line is deep as hell and will be big and strong enough to allow our backers to make plays. Our pass rush will be mean and our d will be fast and grimey.

Lots of inexperience scattered thru that lineup.
Good talent, though...

I love Aranda as much as anyone, but you can't really say this. Our run defense was noticeably weaker when Beckwith went out and Alexander had to fill in. When people act like we can plug and play is when people get disappointed.

The only real concern I have about the LB group is how obvious the drop off was in the Florida game once Beckwith got hurt.

I know the younger guys getting a bowl game and a whole off season will help, but those are huge shoes to fill

Also Duke played out of his mind all year and was voted team MVP so he won't be easy to replace either

I am proud the negatigers drank the arranda coolaid , and I expect him to be good ,but I still wander about the negatiger bunch . yall are a strange bunch you talk terrible about coaches that did a lot for you and make a genius out of somebody who hasn't had time to do much for you !

Thompson isn't starting over Alexander and I doubt the walk on LB will play ahead of Monty Rice who'll be here next month

I think Stevens wins that safety spot opposite battle also but don't forget Eric Monroe was a top 3 safety in last year's class too

I think the Defense will be just fine because LSU will have an offense that will compliment the defense on a consistent basis.
