Thank God we are going back to a 4-3 defensive, but we need the D linemen. We’re loaded at linebacker

That's a really experienced group and I think that factor is understated. We lose 4 to the NFL and graduation and backfill with Juniors and Seniors. Huge for the early games.

Small ahead of white is funny

You left off BJ Ojulari OLB. I am sure wont start and might even redshirt but I expect him to be a main cog in coming years. He already is 6'3" 220 lbs.

Bo even said good things about Small. He’s got 3 years of college football under his belt I bet he emerges as a backup in some blowout games.

He will be a WDE according to Coach O back in spring.

Even with a 4-man front, I still think LSU will run a lot of 2-LB sets, so a lot of 4-2-5 and being able to be creative from there.
Long gone are the days of strictly a 4-3-4 defense, especially with the offenses LSU plays against.

That is how he is listed on 247 recruiting but he is listed as OLB on LSU 2020 Roster.

I think He’s going to be a DE

He stills going to be a DE in the 4-3 defense. Ed even said in one of his spring pressers that he is a perfect 4-3 defensive end
Posted on 4/17/20 at 8:21 pm to tigerrag901
I’m excited to see what Lee can do

If Brooks can bulk up, he's a game wrecker.

As much as I’d like to see marcel brooks start I don’t see it happening. Baskerville has too much talent himself.
Posted on 4/18/20 at 2:27 am to tigerrag901
Baskerville is solid I think he’ll provide depth this year and play a lot like Clark did this past season. Brooks is too talented to keep off the field. He flashed last year as a true freshman on a team with now all it’s starting linebackers departing. Brooks can also play that Hybrid Safety role.

Is Jacoby definitely not going to be a LB? He seems like a better candidate than Brooks but I haven't kept up with anything official that Pelini has said.
