Two LSU Defenders Featured On CBS Sports' List Of SEC Freshmen To Watch In 2026

CBS Sports writer Brad Crawford included LSU freshmen defensive linemen Lamar Brown and Deuce Geralds in his list of SEC freshmen to watch in 2026. Here's what he had to say:

Lamar Brown, DL, LSU
A five-star with a ton of hype, Brown has positional versatility at the point of attack and will be part of the rotation on Blake Baker's defense in Baton Rouge, especially after the injury to Gabriel Reliford. Brown should be able to alleviate some of the pressure off the shoulders of prized Ole Miss portal signee Princewill Umanmielen at the edge and offer up opportunities for others to make plays in 1-on-1 situations.

Deuce Geralds, DL, LSU
Geralds emerged as a starter on the projected two-deep after LSU's spring practice on the interior, giving the Tigers potentially one of the nastiest pass rush units in the conference this fall. While he didn't enroll with as much hype as Brown or Richard Anderson, Geralds turned heads with his agility and strength at the line of scrimmage.
