The biggest question mark going into the LSU offseason post spring football was the defensive line, after guys like Maason Smith, Mehki Wingo and Jordan Jefferson departed for the NFL that left the LSU defensive line room and new defensive line coach Bo Davis to pick up the pieces. Those pieces are senior Jacobian Guillory, Florida transfer Jalen Lee, and JUCO transfer Shone Washington. Those are LSU's main three defensive lineman and then you add in former OL Kimo Makeneole, walk-on Preston Hickey, true freshman former 5-star Dominic Mckinley, Wisconsin transfer Gio Paez and Grand Valley State transfer Jay'viar Suggs. Then you move to the second level which is the linebackers, the returners there are senior Greg Penn, junior Harold Perkins, Whit Weeks, and West Weeks. Newcomers to the room are Dayvon Keys and Tylen Singleton. This may be LSU's deepest and possibly its most talented group on the defensive side of the ball but will still need the help of the defensive line to truly reach its potential. The secondary is also very talented but hasn't played a lot of football together. All in all this LSU defense should be much better than last years, they can't be much worse right?
