I decided to write out an outlook on what a 4-3 base defense would look like. Of course, LSU won’t be in base a lot due to the increase in spread offenses, but here’s a general look of how I see it, with some interesting position changes.

4-3 starters

WDE- Anthony, Ojulari, Webb, Thornton, Moore, Little
DT- Logan, Farrell, Roy, Taylor, Evans
DT - Shelvin , ApU, Gulliory , Jenkins
SDE - (Justin Thomas, if he returns), Ali Gaye, Jerrell Cherry, Soni Fonua, McKlendon, Ray Parker

LOLB- Jacoby Stevens, Marcel Brooks, Josh White
MLB- Damone Clark, Sampah
ROLB- Micah Baskerville, Donte Starks,

CB- Stingley, Ward, Mcglothern
CB- Flott, Ricks, Jones
FS- Kary Vincent, Todd Harris, Lewis
SS- Mo Hampton, Monroe, Toles

A couple notes: 1) If Thomas doesn’t return, I believe Farrell will shed 15 pounds and move to strong-side defensive end. 2) This is strictly base, so I didn’t include nickel. In a Nickel defense, I believe Baskerville comes off the field and Harris becomes the extra defensive back, with Vincent playing in the slot.

I think Roy, Logan and Farrell fit at SDE.

I love the idea of Shelvin and Ika being out there together taking up 4 OLs together.

That frees up a lot of dudes.

I definitely see Flott rotating in at S as well.

Brooks is closer to a DE than a LB

Anthony won't start. Got to get Brooks in there. Ray Parker may surprise, Cherry too. Farrell, Roy at DE

Marcel Brooks is 6’2 not even 200 pounds. How in the hell is that a DE? Hell he is almost too light to be a LB

Roy and Farrell at SDE does sound. Roy has a Tyson Jackson-like frame. The best way to affect the quarterback in today’s football is by getting pressure up the middle. I guess that’s why I slotted those guys in the middle. The ability to rotate them will be beneficial.

I guess you didn't see his production with his hand in the dirt this past year.

Hate the thought of Webb and BJ being wasted as 4-3 ends
