He is the best LSU linebacker since Bradie James...154 tackles in 2002. Oh yeah they both are from NORTH Louisiana.

I think he and Minter are neck and neck but White has the potential to surpass them both.

The nfl likes taller LBs. I'll be interested to see if his height hurts his draft stock.

Bradie James, Kendall Beckwith, kelvin Shepperd

are the three best athletically gifted Mike Linebackers Ive seen in a LSU uniform. Devin White has a chance to surpass all three.

DW strength is just ridiculous. The way he tosses guys around when he gets his paws on him.

Goodness I can't wait for him to power bomb Jalen Hurts

Love Devin White, and whole-heartedly agree that he's special. That being said, Debo says hi. They kind of remind me of one another. Fast as hell and quite instinctual

If you are just speaking of athleticism DW is superior to every guy you listed. His NIKE sparq numbers were better than all of their NFL combine numbers. He weighs more, runs faster and lifts more. This isnt debatable

He is becoming the leader Bradie and Kelvin were. And he is making tackles as well as them.

I know its hard to just annoint a guy this early but the measurables say so. And his on field play is right there with them.

cool, but White is undoubtedly one of the best, if not the best, LB i've seen at LSU. That includes Ali and Kelvin.

Kendall Beckwith is just as good if not better


you are out of your damned mind

currently Devin White has 77 total tackles on the season, 7 games in

Beckwith had 77 total tackles in all of his sophomore season

Devin White is on pace to have more solo, total tackles, and sacks as a sophomore than Beckwith had as a senior. Think about that. And I love me some Beckwith.

And Beckwith had a better DL to protect him

Beckwith's best season was as a junior, and he recorded 3.5 sacks

currently Devin White has 2.5 in his sophomore season, 7 games in....

it's not even close

bro, you are wrong. They eye test and the numbers don't support your argument at all. Seriously, check sports reference once and a while before posting.

White will be the GOAT before he’s done.

He’s going to also be a top 10 puck after running in the 4.5s/low 4.6s at the combine.

At 260 lbs.

DW is the total package already. Crazy that he will only continue to get better.

I do agree White will be a great player before all said and done. BUT he has nothing on Thomas Dunson when it comes to playing LBer for LSU....
