Congrats to the guy spelling Maason Smith all year!! Absolutely made the most of his opportunity to be the only LSU player named to an AP All-American team!

My favorite player of the year. Kid is killing it. Pretty much every defensive snap. Winning everything in camp. Interior pressure expert. Undersized, underestimated. Just Mr. Reliable.

Hope he makes millions.

On the back of being Freshman All-SEC last season, too. This kid is a really good one. Really glad we got him and I hope he balls out for his money year next season.

Outside of Daniels, he was the most important transfer this season. It was a nice coup when LSU got him as we figured he would add to the rotation with Roy/Smith as the starters. He quickly became a starter and had to battle through virtually the entire season as part of a 3 man rotation. If (big if) LSU can keep Roy for another season and grab a transfer or two DTs in the portal, they could have a very formidable interior DL next season.

One might say the greatest DL since 2011?

This guy was probably the most underrated transfer we had last year. He played great all season.

With him and Smith, it will be formidable regardless...

He was fantastic all year. Made the most of a huge opportunity.

But I'm surprised no love H. Perkins? Should've at least made 3rd team.

Homeboy was in the backfield all year wreaking havoc. Him and Roy tore it up.

The guy is a technician with a high motor and great character. Impossible not to love Wingo.
