I'll choose 8 by position, trying to mix in old and new school...

QB: Doc Fenton. LSU has the weakest QB tradition of any blue blood, so I'll just go old school and choose the virtual Heisman winner of 1908.

RB: Charles Alexander. Probably the most underrated player in LSU history. Heisman finalist, put up sick numbers, and was by far the best player of his era.

WR: Wendell Davis. Won the SEC Player of the Year as a wide out. Two time All-American. Total stud. No contest.

OL: Alan Faneca. Lots of options, but Faneca was amazing.

DL: Glenn Dorsey. Had he been an offensive player, he would have won the Heisman. Best player on perhaps LSU's best team ever.

LB: Devin White. LSU has a rich LB tradition, and had an AA at the position for 5 straight years from 68-72. White's the best ever.

DB: Tommy Casanova. I really want to take Peterson, but Casanova is a three-time AA, a ridiculous feat.

Swing: Honey Badger. I'm tempted to go Stovall, who was a legit stud on both sides of the ball, but as my wild card, I'm going with the incomparable Tyrann Mathieu. He was a force of nature. We'll never see another player like him.
