Three freshman who can make an instant impact

Three Tigers among the Freshman All-Impact Team.

Emery Jones, Interior Offensive Line

No Chasen Hines. No Ed Ingram. Both players took part in the Reese’s Senior Bowl this past week and are looking to improve their draft stock. Ingram was one of the top guys and voted best offensive linemen during the week-long event for the American team.

Emery Jones has entered the chat. One of the top signees that Brian Kelly was able to secure that hasn’t drawn the fanfare is Emery Jones. Not to be confused with on again off again Florida Gators quarterback Emory Jones. The former was a top-100 signee on the interior offensive line and could be right in line to start at either guard spot with multi-year starters now gone. LSU has to replace at least four spots, if not all five.

  • Marlon Martinez, Junior
  • Marcus Dumervil, Redshirt Sophomore
  • Anthony Bradford, Redshirt Junior
  • Charles Turner, Redshirt Junior

There are three spots available on the interior. This should be a heated battle but Emery Jones has just as good a shot as any. Brad Davis has a tough decision to make here.
