LSU head coach Les Mile spoke to reporters on Thursday about freshman linebacker Devin White, who he "expects" to play in every game at linebacker this upcoming season.

White signed with LSU this past Febuary as four-star running back/linebacker from Springhill, LA (North Webster). The Tigers also signed four-star linebacker Michael Divinity from Marrero, LA (John Ehret).

Riley can contribute on special teams and he'll be in the rotation. Helps that White was here in the spring and already has some work in.

Translation...."Duke Riley is looking for a job". At 6'1 250, running a 4.5, and quick enough to be a top rated RB, its hard to imagine he wouldn't play day 1

No, he won't unseat Riley. Riley is a leader, he gets guys in position during presnap reads, something white hasn't grasped yet. White will see the field plenty, but won't start. Remember Fournette's freshmen year? He was clearly the top back on the roster, light-years ahead of everyone. He didn't start because the starter was a senior. Elite football schools usually play the senior guys first so they can display there talent to the league one last time before moving on. Long story short, Duke Riley will start.
