Not sure how you can say definitely, at least not objectively...looking at their freshman stats, Landry had about 20 more tackles than Mathieu.
But Tyrann had more than double the tackles for loss, more sacks, he forced 5 fumbles and recovered 3 (Landry had none of either), more pass breakups and even a blocked kick.
So I think the only definite thing is that both had great freshman seasons. Maybe you give the nod to Landry bc he did it on a national championship defense, but i think Tyrann had at least as good a season from an individual perspective.

The amount of turnovers caused by mathieu is a wash with 20 more tackles from Landry.
IMO.
Mathieu is a better form tackler IMO with that being said.

Tyrann did it on a national championship defense too, just that his offense wasn't up to par.
