If he keeps it up, he's a lock to be in New York 2 years in a row (2023 and 2024).

WAYYYY to early to say such things. You have to hope immediate success doesn't change his mindset. That is easy to do for for an immature 18 year old (and we were ALL immature at 18).

Matheiu had a great freshman year. He followed it up with arguably the most dominant non-offensive season we've ever seen at LSU. And that was it. He was out after two seasons.

Arden Key flashed quickly as a Freshman. In 2016 he was a dominant edge rusher. He looked like sure 1st round pick and All American...then he stopped caring in 2017.

Notoriety is coming quickly. He's known outside of LSU circles now. He will likely be a preseason All American going into next season with months of offseason chatter about him being the most dominant defender in college football. Will he go the Arden Key route? Or will he be someone like Devin White who just continued to get better and better with an effort and focus that never changed?

All you have to do is look at Williams of Alabama. He had a dominant year
last year and is mediocre this year. That’s why I like Devin White so much,
he came into his junior year with a first round grade and played hard and improved.

I wonder if the staff will keep using him as a rover.

Sometimes guys flash early when they can play instinctively. They then seem to have a down year as they play a more traditional role. You also get guys, like Delpit, that appear to regress when they simply don’t have a good supporting cast.

We’ve had so many great players like Devin White who come through here and bail out on LSU their junior year at the expense of the team. Who knows how many great bowl games and/or national championships we could’ve won if we didn’t have so many selfish juniors?
