NCAA Football 2009 LSU Roster Names

Defensive Ends
LE #93 -- Tyson Jackson, Senior (RS), 95 ovr
RE #90 -- Ricky Jean-Francois, Junior (RS), 95 ovr
RE #49 -- Kirston Pittman, Senior (RS), 93 ovr
RE #84 -- Rahim Alem, Junior (RS), 83 ovr
LE #47 -- Tremaine Jackson, Senior, 82 ovr
LE #98 -- Sidell Corley, Freshman (RS), 80 ovr
LE #94 -- Chase Clement/Lavar Edwards/Chancey Aghayere, Freshman, 79 ovr
RE #95 -- Chase Clement/Lavar Edwards/Chancey Aghayere, Freshman, 79 ovr
[[Whew! Lots of ends this time. Remember that story about RJF destroying a rim? Well, with a 95 ovr rating -- prolly a little inflated to allow him to move to DT without a big dropoff -- you can't help but wonder whether Sarah Jessica Parker Wilson and whatever Bama QBs are behind him will be worrying about neck problems later in life. For that matter, I bet *all* the SEC QBs we play might be a little concerned...but enough hyping of one guy. Tremaine Johnson gets absolutely no love at all -- AGAIN.

Stagg has really helped out here -- he reminded me that Chancey Aghayere should probably be somewhere on this chart. That said, I still need height/weight numbers. I'd really appreciate it!]]

Defensive Tackles
DT #97 -- Al Woods, Junior, 93 ovr
DT #99 -- Marlon Favo-right, Senior (RS), 87 ovr
DT #91 -- Charles Alexander, Senior (RS), 85 ovr
DT #92 -- Drake Nevis, Sophomore, 79 ovr
[[Al Woods is an absolute monster in this game. Dorsey 2.0. We may have areas of weakness in this team, but the defense doesn't rebuild All-World DTs, it reloads. Marlon's last name is spelled funny because it drives me crazy to hear the announcers say "favorite, with the tackle". It's fave-o-right, but they pronounce it fav-o-rit, like the word you use on your most beloved pet.]]

Outside Linebackers
ROLB #11 -- Kelvin Sheppard, Sophomore (RS), 89 ovr
LOLB #56 -- Perry Riley, Junior, 85 ovr
ROLB #50 -- Kyle Prater, Freshman, 79 ovr
LOLB #52 -- Ace Foyil, Junior (RS), 78 ovr
ROLB #17 -- Shomari Clemons, Freshman (RS), 78 ovr
[[Stronger linebacking corps than I expected. Stagg strikes again, this time noting that Ryan Baker is probably the freshman MLB since Theriot is at FB. That's Kyle Prater.]]

Middle Linebackers
MLB #48 -- Darry Beckwith, Senior, 95 ovr
MLB #54 -- Jacob Cutrera, Junior, 82 ovr
MLB #30 -- Ryan Baker, Freshman, 80 ovr
[[Darry Beckwith got super-boosted from '08. It's about time, too...unfortunately, EA nerfed Cutrera from 08. I thought Theriot was at ILB, but Stagg figured out that he's at FB, so Ryan Baker goes here.]]

Cornerbacks
CB #29 -- Chris Hawkins, Sophomore (RS), 85 ovr
CB #4 -- Jai Eugene, Sophomore (RS), 83 ovr
CB #45 -- Patrick Johnson, Freshman, 83 ovr
CB #33 -- Tyson Andrus, Junior (RS), 82 ovr
CB #28 -- Brandon Taylor, Freshman, 79 ovr
[[Finally, we get to see the highly touted freshman Patrick Johnson...and boy, does he live up to expectation in this game. Thanks to TigerFan91 for figuring out #33 was Tyson Andrus. ]]

Free Safeties
FS #27 -- Curtis Taylor, Senior (RS), 94 ovr
FS #44 -- Danny McCray, Junior (RS), 85 ovr
FS #41 -- Karnell Hatcher, Freshman, 79 ovr
FS #23 -- Stefoin Francois, Freshman (RS), 79 ovr
[[Free safety is loaded as ever. Curtis Taylor looks like LaRon Landry with that nice overall rating, Danny McCray will probably step in like Craig Steltz did, and there are two talented safeties waiting in their freshman years of eligibility. Lookin' good.]]

Strong Safeties
SS #24 -- Harry Coleman, Sophomore (RS), 89 ovr
SS #3 -- Chad Jones, Sophomore, 85 ovr
[[Strong safety lacks the depth and experience like at free safety, but it's still got quite a lot of talent and a fair amount of experience. For those that are interested, Chad Jones's overall rating jumped 18 points from '08. That's as good a sign of a strong freshman campaign as ever.]]

Kickers
K #6 -- Colt David, Senior, 90 ovr
[[It's Colt David. Not much more to say, he's better than last year {which is surprising, considering that he was really good last year} and his Speed rating went up. I wonder what caused that... ;D]]

Punters
P #30 -- Josh Jasper, Sophomore, 69 ovr
[[Umm...damn. Our punter's overall rating is...ugh. I blame the bad special teams showing in the spring game for this. But I'm not here to bash, only to identify. I bet (hope) that in NCAA Football '10 his rating will have jumped up by nearly 20 points, kinda like Chad Jones from 08 to 09.]]



So there you have it, folks. I identified as many as I could without having a copy of the game on me. If I can get the height and weight of the following players, I can complete this:

RT #66
LG #64
LE #94
RE #95

Thanks, y'all! Hope this helps!




BTW, to keep this accurate...

Move FB #55 to be an LB. MLB or OLB, he plays linebacker so move him.

Make the following number changes:
+WR #6 --> WR #21
+TE #82 --> TE #18
+CB #45 --> CB #7
+CB #28 --> CB #15
+FS #41 --> FS #37 (all of those thanks to Stagg)
+QB #3 --> QB #9 (thanks to dgnx6)

I noticed duplicate numbers on the default roster, so I assume you can duplicate numbers...and anyway, 21 was Chevis Jackson, 18 was Jacob Hester, 7 was Ali Highsmith, 15 was Matt Flynn and 37 has always been Danny McCray, so there shouldn't be an issue anyway.

#33 is Tyson Andrus

---

Good find. LSUsports.net didn't have him on the roster from what I saw...he's on ESPN's though. I should've checked there but I didn't use it after I saw the other #11 on there.

Thanks TigerFan!

quote:

---

no redshirt for Terrance Tolliver

---

Noted. I thought that was odd...so he's a sophomore then? The Excel chart I downloaded had him as a redshirt freshman and I want to make that correction.

quote:

---

FB #55 -- Stefan Ridley, Freshman, 75 ovr

---

Definitely Theriot... and he'll definitely be playing OLB.

quote:

---

WR #89 -- Ian Harding, Freshman, 81 ovr

---

This is DeAngelo Benton.

quote:

---

WR #6 -- Chris Tolliver, Freshman, 79 ovr

---

Will wear 21.

quote:

---

TE #82 -- Richard Dickson, Junior, 87 ovr

---

Will wear 18.

quote:

---

RT #66 -- Max Holmes, Junior (RS), 73 ovr

---

Transfered

quote:

---

LG #64 -- P.J. Longerin, Sophomore (RS), 82 ovr

---

It's "Lonergan"... and he's a true frosh. ETA: So I'm guess this is supposed to be someone else (if he's a RS Soph).

Why is Phelon Jones and Ron Brooks not included considering they were much highly praised as recruits

Probably because it's not LSU Football 2009 for your 360/PS3/Wii.

With a hundred and change teams to manage, on top of the actual game building..

I would think the developers have more pressing concerns than adding a few players 99% of players can miss without any impact to their gaming

quote:

---

So where is Theriot, surely a guy who played in the spring game will be on the roster. Those guys could go either way. Make them who you want. EA is limited on who they can put in the game.

---

He's at fullback... so you'll have to change him manually to an OLB. The coaches are starting him out at WLB.

quote:

---

FB #55 -- Theriot? Really? I don't think he's played FB in his career...he was recruited as an ILB and played QB in high school. I'm not saying this is wrong -- it's certainly believable given his number is the same and his size matches a FB -- but just for confirmation, do you have height and weight?

---

It's absolutely 100% Theriot. He was ranked as a FB by one of the services (Scout, I believe). His number is accurate (as compared to the other incoming froshes) because since he enrolled early, he's had #55 since the earliest Spring practices. He was 6'2" 225 on his recruiting profiles if I remember correctly. Also, for more verification, Stevan Ridley is a RS Frosh... not a true Frosh.

quote:

---

WR #89 -- That makes sense. I just noticed Harding is a RS freshman. My bad. But is Benton the last name? On LSUsports.net the last name is Peterson.

---

You may want to spend more time on recruiting. Benton was a 5-star prep school recruit wide receiver (originally from Bastrop, but spent a year at Hargrave Academy). DeAngelo Peterson was a senior at Desire Street Academy in BR last year, and he's not on the game. Benton likely will not qualify, so you may want to think about editing Benton to Peterson or Jhyryn Taylor.

quote:

---

RT #66 -- That's what I get for using ESPN's rosters when I can't find the player on LSUsports.net. Can I get height/weight from someone on this guy so I can match him up?

---

No, it is Max Holmes... I'm just saying he's transfered since EA made the rosters.

quote:

---

LG #64 -- I suppose he is...but the only sophomore listed under OTs, OLs and OGs is Joe Barksdale. Unless...he might be Richard Dugas, who's actually a center.

---

Not to mention Barksdale is a true Soph... not a RS Soph. This is more than likely Matt Allen... he transfered as well.

That does hold true for the bigger schools, but they do that for every school, and the games leaves Tulane without one of their best recruits(A.Lauricella).
