Kendell Beckwith.

I think if he wouldn't have gotten hurt he'd be talked about much more often as being among the great LSU linebackers.

Dominick Davis I think is not mentioned that much but he was very solid with Toefiled in the backfield paving the way for the RBs of the 2003 title team.

Im gonna go off-road a little bit and say Dwayne Thomas. That game he had against Bama was just short of legendary.

Ben Wilkerson - IMO he is a LEGEND but gets very little talk on TD. Many forget about his accolades.

From Hemphill, TX and played for Saban (2001 to 2004). Started all 4 yrs at Center. Member of the SEC Championship team that defeated the Oklahoma Sooners 21–14 to win the BCS National Championship. As a SR, he was recognized as a first-team All-SEC selection and a consensus first-team All-American, and was awarded the Rimington Trophy as the best college football center in the country.

Sadly blew his knee out and went undrafted. Ben should have been a 1st Rd draft selection. Spent several yrs. in the NFL. He's made a great professional career coaching OL for the past 10 yrs. Kudos to Les who brought Ben back and hired him as a Grad Asst in 2011.

Dalton Hilliard is definitely a legend. I would put Al Richardson in there.

He is way overlooked, and it baffles me. He is one of the greatest RBs we've ever had, but his name rarely comes up in that conversation.

Wilkerson is probably the greatest center to ever play at LSU. That alone should give him legend status.

He blew his knee in the 4th quarter when we had a comfortable lead over Vandy. He shouldn’t have even been in the game.

Is Josh Reed a legend in the board’s opinion? 01 Biletnikoff, All-Amer. & SEC

He is in my mind, but he has been passed in several career receiving records now.

I feel like Michael Clayton never gets mentioned anymore. He was one of OGs of what we know today as WRU

Michael Clayton and Josh Reed are certainly legends.

Honestly he is probably one of the best ever Running backs at LSU.

He was 3 time All-SEC

LSU legend, but somehow his professional career tarnished his college career.
