Mekhi Wingo - Quietest All-American?

I feel like Mekhi Wingo has got to be the most under-talked about returning All-American I've seen at LSU. Perhaps its cuz he was a three star in high school, transferred after one year at Missouri, and then wasn't even slated to start until Maason Smith went down for the season in the first game. Or because he went in to have a statistically quieter year, finishing with just 3 sacks (less than saivion Jones) and 8th on the team in tackles, including behind fellow lineman Jaquelin Roy. While I think fans generally agreed he was a good player, I think even some LSU fans were shocked to see him make the third team All American squad by seasons end, the only LSU player to make the AP All-American roster.

Now, he is a second team preseason All American going into the season. But when we talk about best players on the team, we'll likely bring up Will Campbell or Jayden Daniels or Maason Smith before we do Wingo. All of them are great players and worthy of discussion for being counted as among the best on our team, but none enter the season as a preseason All American like Wingo. Why do you think Wingo gets so overlooked, even by LSU fans? What kind of impact do you expect him to make this year? In your mind, do you see as just a really solid player or undoubtedly All American status?
