Most impressive newcomer of the season so far?

Logan Diggs has separated himself from that group and the rest of the RB’s. Dude is a go time stud.

I say Whit Weeks cuz he's doing this as a true freshman. He honestly might be one of our best defenders right now.

I really like Weeks’ tenacity. He’s been impressive.

Jackson too. I saw another poster compare his running style to Fournette and it’s not far off. He just needs to keep running after he trucks someone.

We are lucky to have all four.

It's so good to have these guys emerge this year. LSU always seems to find a way to have young stars emerge from nowhere and fill in gaps we had in the team, especially on defense.

I think my biggest concern coming into this year, aside from the secondary, was linebacker depth and rotation. Especially after week 1, when Perkins was lost inside, it didn't look like we had enough depth there to move him back outside and pass rush. Now, with Weeks emerging as a valid option, it makes our defense much more complete, so I'd go with Weeks as the most valuable so far.

Reconsidered:

True Freshmen: Whit Weeks followed by Andre Sam

Andre Sam graduated high school in 2017

I don't get the Andre Sam love.

Yes he plays with great energy and flies around the field which is great, don't get me wrong; but he seems to miss a lot of tackles. I know a couple missed tackles led to large gains.

I guess playing next to Major Burns is the equivalent of having ugly friends so you look better.

It’s between 4 guys in my mind:
1) Whit Weeks
2) Jordan Jefferson
3) Andre Sam
4)Logan Diggs
5) Kaleb Jackson

First, that math doesn’t math.

Second, it’s Diggs. He’s completely changed our ability to run the ball. Without him we’d have the same unreliable run game as last year. I love Josh Williams but the kid is very limited athletically.
