Linebacker is going to be a problem. One injury, one transfer, and we are really screwed. After the 2015 season, we will lose:

No. 23 Lamar Louis, Sr
No. 31 D.J. Welter, Sr
No. 22 Ronnie Feist, Sr
No. 45 Deion Jones, Sr
No. 52 Kendal Beckwith, Jr - Probably to NFL

So that leaves us only three LBs on our roster for 2016!!!:

No. 3 Clifton Garrett 6-3, 242
No. 40 Duke Riley 6-1, 218
No. 48 Donnie Alexander 6-1, 201

So true freshmen will have to be ready to play immediately or we must get some JUCO LBs that can play right away. Steele is going to have to earn his money.


This is why this years class was disappointing to me. Steele is a LB coach and he couldn't get anyone to flip. Not a great start, but i understand he had limited time. JUCO LBs..... look for them now!

at least 2 DBs will move to LB

and look for Lewis Neal to play a hybrid DE/LB role

Cut Steele and O some slack. They showed up to the scene late and still got Key and a serious look from Leo Lewis.

Voorhies has been moved to LB...Steele was on the job 1 month before NSD, relax bud...he knows his roster and depth chart better than you.

DJ is already out of eligibility.

But the OP is correct. Only signing two LB's in two years has us living on the edge come '16.

Would be great if we could RS someone in '15(Feist?).

will probably go after a JUCO kid.

I'm really surprised they didn't press Phillips this year.

Neal has the potential to be a hell of a LBER IMO

LSU should be a top destination for the best LBs of 2016. That's another way of looking at it.

Do you honestly believe the coaches didn't know this or you literally just made a huge discovery that Miles an Co. need to know about ASAP?
