Athlon Sports put out their list of College Football's Early Top 50 players for the 2018 season and included two LSU Tigers.

The website pegged cornerback Greedy Williams at No. 15, while linebacker Devin White was ranked No. 22.

15. Greedy Williams, CB, LSU

Williams is coming off his redshirt freshman season, but he’s already among the top defensive backs in college football. He broke up 11 passes, intercepted six and recorded 38 tackles to lead LSU’s secondary in 2017.

22. Devin White, LB, LSU


In his year as a full-time starter, White was all over the field for defensive coordinator Dave Aranda. The Louisiana native made 133 stops (14 for a loss), recorded 4.5 sacks and anchored a run defense that ranked third in the SEC.
Here was the Top 10:
1. Ed Oliver, DL, Houston
2. Christian Wilkins, DL, Clemson
3. Bryce Love, RB, Stanford
4. Clelin Ferrell, DE, Clemson
5. Trace McSorley, QB, Penn State
6. Nick Bosa, DE, Ohio State
7. Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin
8. Will Grier, QB, West Virginia
9. McKenzie Milton, QB, UCF
10. Sutton Smith, DE, Northern Illinois

Damn I wish we had gotten Ed Oliver. That kid was NFL ready as an 18 year old defensive lineman. That is nuts.

If only we had a Dline coach that could have landed him, Raekwon Davis, Phidarian Mathis or Marvin Wilson... oh well.

Clemson’s DL is so damn good. Three guys in the top 18.

And they've been like that for several years now. Ohio St, Bama, and Clemson have consistently put out top DLs the past 5 years.

Only someone that has never watched an LSU game would put anyone above White on defense

I would put Ed Oliver in front of White. No doubt about it. And I think White is a superstar.
