Over the summer, I began a countdown of the top 101 players in the history of LSU football. The season began and it got lost in the shuffle, but now that LSU’s on a bye, there’s some time to pick it back up.
Today, we’re looking at No. 40-31 on the list. It features a couple of hard-hitting safeties, a few offensive linemen, as well as some of the best receivers LSU’s had to offer.
With that in mind, let’s continue the list. But first, just some reminders on the criteria used to construct the all-time list.
- I’ve tried my best to avoid recency bias
- Emphasis was placed on players who received accolades such as All-American
- Players who made contributions over multiple seasons were given slight edges over players who had one elite year
