This. Laron Landry! Devin White was also a good answer.

Since I’ve been watching (mid 90s or so)

Kevin Minter

Others that come to mind:

Kendell Beckwith
Ron Brooks
Mark Roman
Bradie
Tyrann
Eric Reid
Trev Faulk
Jamal Adams

Neither make top 10 in LSU history as being “great tacklers”. Landry was a great hitter. White ran poor angles.

The Badger. His ability to stop and finish virtually any size player while still stripping and punching was as good as I’ve ever seen.

Yeah fans clamored for both Welter and Hatcher. Two of the worst to ever see the field at LSU.

Linebacker Shawn Burks. Led the team in tackles for 3 straight years.

Devin White or Bradie James

Maybe Laron Landry/Craig Steltz


These 4 along with Kevin Minter immediately came to my mind.

and I am terrible about remembering players' names.

Bradie James is one of the best players I’ve ever seen at linebacker. No one got through him. I think he has the most tackles in a single season too, unless someone broke it later.

Devin White without a doubt there were guys like Craig Steltz and Michael Brooks that would take your head off, but Devin Has to be the best I’ve seen.

Jarvis Green, Micheal Brooks, Laron Landry, Devin White would all be in the conversation with many more.

Really liked Beck. IMO he was the 'D White' before we knew D White.
Was really surprised when he didn't do more at the next level.
