Alexander played in all 10 games in his debut season on defense, recording 12 tackles with a half sack. He had a tackle in eight of the 10 games he featured in, having at least two in games against Auburn, Southern Miss, Ole Miss and Florida.

Another in a long line of Australian punters, Growden averaged 41.9 yards per punt on 51 punts this season, with nine punts of 50 or more yards and 20 being inside the 20-yard line. In the thrilling win over Mississippi State, Growden had two punts of 60 yards at 65 and 61 in being named the SEC Co-Special Teams Player of the Week in the process, as his longest of the season was a 68-yard punt against the Golden Eagles.

White saw action in all 11 games for LSU, recording 25 tackles, with 12 on the solo end and 13 assisted. He had two tackles for loss, forcing and recovering a fumble as well, recording a season-best six tackles against Southern Miss. White really made his mark on special teams where he recorded 10 tackles, the second most for any LSU player and only one of two to have double-figure tackles in the category, getting four against Arkansas.
