1. Devin White shines for LSU once again

I’m not sure how bold of a prediction this one is as it’s almost becoming fact at this point. The linebacker is the reigning SEC Defensive Player of the Week with his fifth consecutive double digit tackle performance against Auburn. He has notched a total of 56 tackles so far this season along with 3 sacks. To say he is having a monster season for LSU is the understatement of the century.

In the above video, White discusses the team effort against Auburn and the mentality heading into the rest of the season. The Tigers are taking it one game at a time with White leading the way on the defensive side of the ball. They have needed a leader to step up and White seems to be that guy as he is honored left and right for his performance so far.

He has drawn many comparisons so far this season to former Tigers and many expect him to play his way into the top of the draft conversations for 2019. I predict White adds another double digit tackle game as well as another sack against Ole Miss, leading the Tigers to victory.
