I would have a hard time not putting Dalton Hilliard somewhere on that list. I'd give consideration to Eric Martin, also. Agree with the Michael Brooks statement, also.

Hilliard is 2nd alltime in pass receptions for a RB at LSU with 120, just 2 short of Gary James. He’s also probably the best cutback runner we’ve ever had. He’d be nearly unstoppable next to Joe Burrow at QB.

Well he did win the Freaking Biletnikoff Award so there’s that.

You should add “since 1990”.

Wendell Davis is on the receiver list.

Henry Thomas on the dline and ANY team without Michael Brooks, Casanova, Cannon and Stovall is not close to being complete. Doc is a starter over any corner or safety not named Peterson and it isn’t close. He was BIG fast and hit like a ton of bricks.
Cannon was BIG Strong and VERY FAST and would play RB TODAY at LSU and NFL. People have no clue how big and fast these guys were.

I would find it difficult to leave Billy Cannon off the team considering he is one of only two heisman winners we’ve ever had at LSU


Football has evolved so much since LSU first fielded a team. You can look at individual awards, but they are also dependent upon factors the player can’t control.

I believe when looking at all time lists you have to do it three ways:
1) Greatest players from each era
2) Significance of an individual player on a national level
3) The impact a player had on their team

Two and three are difficult because there are external factors. For example, some players seemingly carry their team while others are able to excel because of the supporting cast.

I'll restrict mine to the era of football I'm familiar with ('70 and above).

QB -Burrow (HM: JaMarcus Russell)
RB - Kevin Faulk
RB - Fournette (HM: Dalton Hilliard - my all-time favorite player)
WR - Wendell Davis
WR - Josh Reed
WR - JaMarr Chase
OT - Whitworth
OG - Faneca
C - Mawae
OG - Andolsek (HM: Trai Turner)
OT - La'el Collins

DL - Michael Brockers
DL - Glenn Dorsey
DL - Chad Lavalais
DL - Leonard Marshall
LB - Devin White
LB - Bradie James
LB - Michael Brooks
CB - Patrick Peterson
CB - Tre White
S - Tyrann Mathieu
S - Eric Reid*
CB - Mike Williams

P/PK - Josh Jasper (one man wrecking ball who could do it all - on-side kicks, KOs, punt, FGs, fake FGs, fake punts)

* IMO, this is the most crowded position on the field. There have been so many great safeties (Chris Williams, Liffort Hobley, Greg Jackson, LaRon, Chad Jones, Adams, Delpit) but Reid was my favorite. We're on opposite ends of the political spectrum which soured some fans but his int vs Bama in TGOTC was one of the most spectacular plays I've seen and will mostly go forgotten because of you know what.

Human nature. Nothing against BC. As time goes on and details fade, and verification becomes more obscure, we take the opportunity to put a fresh coat of embellishment on them and turn them into super-heroes so we can trade fond stories around the campfire/dinner table. In this case, about -1/10 second every once in a while.

Watching the Halloween run - even in real time in full gear - it certainly doesn't appear he'd be capable of 9.4/100yd. That said, still the greatest in Tiger folklore.

Brockers was better than Williams. Probably the most underrated DL at LSU ever. He absolutely made everyone on that 2011 DL much better than they were. He disrupted nearly every play and controlled the LOS. He was a dominating DT that people seem to forget about. Had a very good NFL career going too. He soaked up all the double and triple teams and still disrupted plays.



I'm glad to see someone else say this. Yes, Brockers was a nightmare for the opposing offensive lines. In that Oregon game alone, he would be double-teamed, and yet he would still create such a push that he would disrupt their pocket, and cause many of Oregon's plays to break down. Then he proceeded to do this all season. It doesn't show up on the highlight reels, but if you go back and watch games and watch him specifically, he did this consistently all season. He was a FORCE in the middle!

Any list has to include Tommy Casanova as a DB and/or Kick returner. Realize most on TD were born well after his playing days, but growing up in my teens, he was by far the most gifted football player in all of college football.

Did LSU football start in the 1990's?? Some of you need to talk to your older dad's, grandads or even great-grandads to find out about some LSU legends from the past!
