We recently dove into the young guns who are looking for bigger seasons in their sophomore campaigns. The LSU Tigers have a group of veterans that will be counted on for the leadership and accountability within the team.
One veteran that we didn’t circle is wide receiver Kayshon Boutte. He returns for his junior campaign after setting the world on fire as a sophomore. It was short-lived as he suffered an injury in game six of the year. At the time he was the most productive receiving weapon on the team and in the SEC. Boutte should return to form in 2022.
Among the others, we look at two returning defenders in need of big seasons to boost their draft stock. The Tigers also have a senior quarterback that hasn’t been able to stay healthy, a returning running back, and a newcomer on defense.
We breakdown the five veteran LSU Tigers that need to lead this team in the first year of the Brian Kelly era.
