Matheiu was money from day 1. He pooped off the screen his first game and continued to make plays.

Him and Reid didn’t really emerge until the Cotton Bowl, wtf are you talking about?

Justin Vincent in 2003 is one that stands out for me.

Not even the best at his position. That would be Hilliard. Don’t look at stats - Vincent played for the best team in the land - look at the tape.

One of the all time LSU and NFL greats (8th pro bowl starter today) that I feel we under appreciate or forget about. I even forgot about him on this thread.

Yes, he was an absolute beast as a true Frosh.

Tommy Hodson had a great year as a Redshirt Freshman.

A J Duhe was a phenomenal player and you are correct about him playing as a Freshman at 17. He was damn near unblockable. Unbelievably strong.
