Projecting LSU’s Week 1 defensive depth chart

Who will get the nod on the defensive side of the ball for the Tigers?

The defensive side of the ball is a bit more cut-and-dry in Baton Rouge than the offensive side and doesn’t really feature many position battles akin to what the team has seen at quarterback and along the offensive line.

Still, this defense has a lot of veterans on it and a number of transfer portal additions, especially in the secondary. How’s it all going to shake out for the Tigers in 2022?

We’ve already taken a look at what we think LSU’s offensive depth chart will look like when it’s released later this week. Now, let’s take a look at how I expect the depth chart to break down on defense.
