Greg McElroy may be a former Alabama player, but he’s the latest media figure to buy into what LSU and [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] are selling entering the 2023 season.
McElroy recently broke down his top 25 teams in college football entering the season, and the Tigers sit high up on his list at No. 5.
Offensively, McElroy praised the progress of quarterback [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag] in Year 1, and he discussed his high expectations for both the receiving corps led by [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and the offensive line, which was led by a pair of true freshmen tackles last fall in [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] and [autotag]Emery Jones[/autotag].
On the defensive side of the ball, McElroy expects [autotag]Harold Perkins[/autotag] to take a big leap this fall, and he praised transfer additions like [autotag]Omar Speights[/autotag] and the players the Tigers brought in to help the secondary, which he said could be a weak point in 2023.
Still, this is a team poised to compete for another division crown and, potentially, a College Football Playoff bid in Kelly’s second season.
