Johnson hasn't lived up to any hype yet. Haven't seen a freak of any kind.

Ego isn't right there with him. Now that they have their time to shine I hope they will. But I don't feel confident in both of them to step in and be the stud DT we are used to (Williams, Lavalais, Wroten, Nevis, Dorsey, Brockers, etc).

After them it's all unproven guys with high recruiting rankings. The talent is there but it's very young and 4 Top 10 teams on the schedule isn't gonna make it easy.

He recorded 30 tackles 10 TFL and 3 sacks while splitting time last year.

I would say he had a damn good true sophomore year and should improve on all those numbers since he will be starting every playing and playing the majority of snaps.

Funny because as a redshirt sophomore, and starter, Brockers had 10 TFL and 2 sacks. So Anthony, playing less snaps, and a year younger had the same numbers this past season. If Anthony hits your definition of "hype", he will have more accolades than Dorsey.

In fact, here's how the other guys you mentioned played in the second year at LSU:

Williams: Starter: 6.5 TFL 4 sacks
Lavalais: Starter: 5 TFL 1 sack
Wroten: JUCO Transfer: SR season: Starter: 10.5 TFL 6 sacks
Nevis: Reserve: 5.5 TFL 0 sacks
Dorsey: Reserve: 4 TFL 3 sacks

Johnson: Reserve: 10 TFL 3 sacks
