Starting today I will preview a position a day for the upcoming season. The positions will go in order of the strength in my opinion. (So the best position first.) I will say my projected starters, the breakout player (The Real Deal), and give a grade for the position.
So first is the Defensive Line. I think this is the strongest position for the talent and depth here. All first string and second string for that matter could be major players in the draft. On the ends LSU has its two starters back, Tyson Jackson and 6-year Senior Kirston Pittman. Behind them is Rahim Alem and true freshmen Sidell Corley and Chancey Aghayere. Jackson and Pittman are major pass rushers. Pittman even lead the team in sacks last year. For the tackle position, the defensive MVP of the National Championship Ricky Jean-Francois returns along with Marlon Favorite, Al Woods, Charles Alexander, and Drake Nevis. That is just the upperclassmen. A bunch of these linemen can interchange between end and tackle which will keep things unpredictable.
Your starters will be: Tyson Jackson, Ricky Jean-Francois, Marlon Favorite, and Kirston Pittman.
The real deal: Drake Nevis
In sum: the D-Line gets a A+ if they can stay healthy. They should be in the nightmares of Quarterbacks and definitely give some running backs a headache.
