Collins shattered his career high in knockdowns in LSU’s 23-17 win over Texas A&M when he posted 13.5 in 79 snaps. He also paved the way for the Tigers to rush for a season-best 384 yards on 57 carries against the Aggies, a total that included 100-yard performances by running back Leonard Fournette and quarterback Anthony Jennings.

Alexander has started 11 games at left guard. He is second on the team with 73 knockdowns, including a career-high 15.5 against Ole Miss that ranks as the most knockdowns in a single game by any Tiger this season. He has joined La’el Collins in creating a formidable left side of the offensive line.

Keehn ranks second in the SEC in punting with a 45.0 average, and he is fourth in the league in number of 50-plus yard punts (17) and punts inside the 20-yard line (25).
