Need to keep what we do have on the defensive line. McKinley for sure. Safety probably won't be as much of an issue with Spears and Cooley back. Pickett and Woodland on the outside. Full of young linebackers. Might be able to get Deebo atkins from the portal

Word is McKinley hitting the portal


He almost went to A&M bc of Robinson. So maybe he can keep him here. That’d be a nice slap to the face of OSU ??

Glad when Perk is gone overhyped and just not very good

The hype isn't his fault. Unless you blame him for being too good for a couple games his FR year and giving fans too much hope. He's a good player and has performed really well these past couple weeks when he could've mailed it in. He's been getting better as the season goes despite us being out of playoff contention, which may have something to do with returning from injury. He's transformed his body since his freshman year and is no longer just a pass rusher. He's not a Honey Badger type player but it's not his fault that those were the expectations placed on him. He's still most likely better than whoever you're gonna replace him with

McKinley was recruited by ERob and I wanna said he was committed to atm at one point this is why getting ERob was a big deal don’t be surprised if Dom’s brother recommits to LSU

With Harold Perkins’ interception against OU, he joined a very select group of LSU defensive players with 200 tackles, 15 TFL, five sacks & 5 interceptions in their careers. Only four players in LSU history have achieved this: Ron Sancho, Michael Brooks, LaRon Landy and now Perkins. Yeah the dude is average at best. Geez

Cooley looks a little slow but if we could get Atkins back would be huge. That guy plays like a crazy man. Not sure how we let him get away. Much better than keys.

He has one year left I believe.

Gotcha. I didn't realize his injury last year happened so early in the season.

Perkins ran out for Senior Day. He's gone even though he's a junior

What a dawg. Love that guy.


I’ll always remember him for the UF game. That 95yd TD or whatever it was, called back cuz he was held, I looked up mid play with UF streaking down the sideline - Guillory was standing his ground pointing the opposite direction, knew he was held, saw the flag, didn’t even give chase. Was fantastic.

Weeks comes back IMO.
Same with Cooley, those two coming back would be huge.
