The Iron Tiger award goes to linebacker Omar Speights!

Shoutout to BK and the staff for this kind of consistency in the transfer portal! Can't wait to see this young man in purple and gold!!

I expect this player to be a beast on our defense. can't wait to watch our front 7 get after it. I expect this will be our best front 7 on D since 2011.

He was tossing people around like rag dolls in the spring game.

I think Speights is flying under the radar a little bit when discussing the LB group. Speights could easily have 100 tackle season.

He makes that 405 BP look easy.

I agree. and the fact that offense already have Harold Perkins to account for behind a very strong Dline…………..Omar is going to clean up in my opinion. If our secondary is above average the defense will be very good and I think it will at least be that as long as we stay healthy.

He will be a Butkus finalist or LSU will be losing miserably if this is the case due to getting past the dline and him trying to run people down.

His ability to play his position should be made easier with his strength but the SEC is always loaded with guys who are quick, fast and strong. I hope he can combine his gifts with football skills. It should be fun watching a guy like him learn to play

Brian Thomas Jr has been mentioned by Coach BK as one of, if not the strongest players pound for pound
