Top 101 LSU Football players of all time: No. 60-51

The countdown continues with some DBU greats and some old-time linemen.

The countdown continues as we complete the first half of the best 101 football players in LSU history.

As we get closer to the top spot, the players are getting better and better, and thus, harder to rank.

I have tried to avoid recency bias as much as possible. It can be hard to get enough information about older players, but I did my best to get them about in the ballpark of where they should be.

Anytime there’s a list this big, people will disagree. There’s so little that separates the 50th player from the 70th, and so on.

I tried to balance consistency over multiple seasons with some players that had one great year. Both have been rewarded here. With that in mind, let’s continue the countdown.

The top 101 countdown continues with a few wide receivers and some of DBU’s best

LSU football has been around for a long time. Since 1893, to be exact.

In that span, plenty of great football players have come through the program. Before we begin the journey of the 2022 season, I thought I’d take a stab at ranking the 101 best players in LSU history.

LSU Football History: Top-10 single-season receiving leaders

Seven of the 10 best receiving seasons in program history have come since 2000.

For much of LSU’s history, its football identity centered around physical defense and a ground-and-pound rushing attack.

However, over the last few decades, we’ve seen the offense modernize to utilize more spread formations. With that in mind, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that seven of the 10 best single-season receiving performances in program history have come since the turn of the century.

The Tigers have put all sorts of talented receivers into the league since then from [autotag]Early Doucet[/autotag] to [autotag]Dwayne Bowe[/autotag] to [autotag]Odell Beckham Jr.[/autotag] to [autotag]Jarvis Landry[/autotag] to [autotag]Justin Jefferson[/autotag] and, most recently, [autotag]Ja’Marr Chase[/autotag].

Here are the 10 best single-season receiving performances in LSU history.

Ranking LSU’s top 10 running back recruits since 2000

LSU has had no shortage of running back talent on campus this millennium.

LSU stakes a strong claim as “Defensive Back University,” but it may have a decent case for the title of RBU, as well.

The Tigers have boasted many talented ball-carriers during their illustrious history. From [autotag]Dalton Hilliard[/autotag] to [autotag]Kevin Faulk[/autotag] to [autotag]Leonard Fournette[/autotag] to [autotag]Clyde Edwards-Helaire[/autotag], the ground game has been a major part of this program’s identity throughout its lifetime.

Many of these players joined LSU’s team before the advent of modern recruiting services — namely the 247Sports Composite, which dates back to 2000 — but since the turn of the millennium, the Tigers have had no shortage of elite running back prospects come through campus.

Earlier this offseason, LSU Wire took a look at the best quarterback recruits the program has ever signed. Now, we’re breaking down the top-10 running back signees since 2000, two of whom were five-star recruits.

Every College Football Hall of Fame member from LSU

LSU has put 11 players and five coaches into the hall.

The National Football Foundation recently released the list of nominees for the 2023 College Football Hall of Fame induction class. One of the many players to crack the ballot — [autotag]Bradie James[/autotag] — is a former LSU linebacker.

James will look to become the 12th former Tigers player to be inducted in the hall. Currently, only 10 players have been inducted, but that will change in December when [autotag]Kevin Faulk[/autotag] joins as part of the 2022 class. LSU has also seen five coaches be selected for the Hall of Fame.

As we wait to find out if the list of LSU players in Atlanta will grow by one, here’s a rundown of every former Tigers player and coach currently in the Hall of Fame.glenn do

Who are the best running back duos in LSU history

In the history of the program, LSU has had its fair share of one-two punches at the tailback position.

Two good running backs are better than one.

In the history of the program, LSU has had its fair share of one-two punches at the tailback position. It’s been needed since running back is often a spot where the starter gets banged up.

The SEC was all about the ground game until about five years ago. You needed these running backs to win. In 2004, Auburn rode Ronnie Brown and Cadillac Williams to an undefeated season. The Alabama dynasty was built on having depth at running back.

Here are some of the best running back duos in the history of LSU football.

LSU Football history: The 20 all-time leading receivers

Without further ado, here are the Tigers’ all-time statistical leaders when it comes to receiving.

Every former LSU Tiger to play in a Super Bowl

For the 21st consecutive year at least one former LSU player heads to the Super Bowl

Over the history of the Super Bowl, the LSU Tigers football program has been well represented. A total of 78 former players make up the active roster, practice squad, and injured reserve lists for the game.

This year five active players will participate in the annual championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Benglas. The No. 6 player would be tight end Thaddeus Moss, who is currently on the IR for the Bengals.

Still, we will see history when the two teams take the field for this game. For only the second time in Super Bowl history, two quarterbacks selected No. 1 overall in the NFL draft will face off.

As we journey through the history of LSU players in the Super Bowl, we start where it all began with Super Bowl I featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers.
