[autotag]Andre Sam[/autotag] was one of four defensive backs that [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] picked up in the transfer portal for last year’s recruiting class. Sam came from Marshall where he was a star for the Thundering Herd.
There is a world of difference when it comes to the competition that Marshall faces and the competition LSU faces. LSU is playing the best teams in the country week after week and it has taken some time for Sam to get more comfortable with the defense the Tigers are running. In the game against Army, Sam had three tackles but he had two interceptions to lead the defense. Here is what he had to say about how he is playing right now.
“The more time I spend watching extra film or getting more work in with my teammates so we can all be on the same page,” Sam said after the win over Army, per On3. “The offense was in slow motion today. From my first game in this uniform to now, the offenses are getting slower and slower, and now I have a better feel for it.”
Sam has a better feel for what is going on and his comfort level showed as LSU got their first shutout of the season.
