Past Tigers that left unfinished business

Stingley’s last two seasons got me thinking about guys over the years that you couldn’t wait to see fulfill their massive potential as Tigers. Who stands out most for you when it comes to former Tigers who you wish had stayed healthy physically/mentally for at least one more year. I’ll start...
1) Cecil Collins
2) Tyrann Mathieu
3) Ryan Perriloux
4) Derek Stingley
I know...off-season thread but I’m already about there

I can only imagine the skulls Devin White would have cracked in 2019.

For football, it's Cecil, then Perriloux.

Kevin Toliver and Malachi Dupre.
Both were 5* caliber guys out of HS.

Beyond those in the OP . . .
Mike Miley - one of the most talented 2-sport Tigers ever. I don't think him leaving impacted LSU as much as Perrilloux's did, but it likely cost Cholly Mac a few seasons.
Trai Turner / Michael Brockers - both redhirted and only played 2 seasons since they were draft eligible.
Michael Brooks - missed all of '86 with an injury and then went pro. Correct me I'm wrong but he could have probably gotten a medical RS for '86 and played in '87.
Kevin Toliver
Rashard Robinson

Stingley won a natty. He has no unfinished business

Danielle Hunter. It’s mind blowing how the coaching staff completely whiffed on leveraging his extreme talent.

Tyrann was kicked off team!!

2) Tyrann Mathieu

Stingley against Devonta smith is something that always comes to mind.

Nic Jacobs.
Offenses with Les Miles needed good run blocking TEs. Jacobs was a jumbo TE that was a really good run blocker. Similar to Dillon Gordon, and those guys could've played together for a couple years to be probably the best blocking TEs in the country. Both could have also transitioned to tackle later in their careers. And that actually would've probably been better for them from an NFL career perspective. Both did end up playing in the NFL, but playing tackle in college would have prepared them better for the future in my opinion.
I'm glad to see Jack Mashburn get some recognition and respect for what he does as a blocker, but Gordon and Jacobs were on another level in terms of their power as blockers. They could dominate the best D-linemen in the SEC.

In recent years superstar sophomores have not been available most of their junior years
