LSU LB Jacob Phillips:
The Tigers need bodies at inside linebacker -- they only have two scholarship players there at the moment and Phillips has the kind of size (6-3, 226 pounds) and ability (No. 141 overall in the 2017 ESPN 300; No. 3 nationally among inside linebackers) to contribute immediately at a need position. Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda himself said he's anxiously awaiting the arrival of the Tigers' three freshmen linebackers this summer and that's the position where a freshman can have the biggest impact this fall.

Also joining Phillips at the position this summer are incoming freshman linebackers Patrick Queen and Tyler Taylor.
