I know there's little hope, but could Tony Upchurch play LB? He's listed as 6'1 and 241 lbs. Definitely has the size and as a former WR, you would hope the speed and athleticism. I seem to remember that Karlos Dansby started at Auburn as a WR before they switched him to LB.

Also, with Guice and Brossette both behind Fournette is there any chance they convince Williams to go over? He's got the size and definitely appears to have the mean streak.

Curious why MJ Patterson isn't looked at unless he's just too slow. Is not big enough (listed at 223 lbs) to play DE even though that's where he is listed.

No

The reason he came to LSU is because they finally offered him at RB. They originally offered him as an ATH which assumed he would be moved to LB. He has been flirting with the idea of transferring apparently due to not getting touches.

Has battled injuries his entire career I believe.

Re: DTs. Here are all the DTs on this year's roster. Two Srs will be gone, possibly LaCouture. That leaves three non-true freshmen DTs on roster for next year. Perhaps there are some OL that can switch over... but depth could be be a problem


Lac isn't going anywhere.

Add in Rashard Lawrence, Glen Logan, Edwin Alexander, and the possibility of Gooden, Blacklock, Davis, Gary, etc it looks pretty good.

was wondering what the deal was with Patterson myself. Should be at LB.

Also seems Darren Williams would want to play LB,. He looks like the perfect specimen of a LB both in stature and in attitude. Would be his best shot at the pros.

him and mOuton. All FB's should be moved to LB as we need to get rid of the position all together, at least as a full time position.

Right now we have Fiest, Voories, Alexander, and Riley returning. Fowler, Thornton, Andre Anthony, and Divinity committed. 4 returning players and 4 true freshman.
