re: Hot take Sage Ryan impressed me

Maybe it is due to his youth

His youth? This was his third season. Second getting significant playing time. He's a veteran player in college football terms.

The issue is, and always has been, that he is a "tweener". He's not quick and instinctive enough to be a CB. He's not big and physical enough to be a safety.

Is it nice, for depth purposes, to have a guy who at least seems to quasi know what he is supposed to be doing? Sure. But if Ryan is the top player in the secondary next season, regardless of position, LSU is still in a lot of trouble. That probably sounds mean. But it is what it is.
