The No. 1 safety in Louisiana continues turning heads, shined during spring as an early-enrollee.
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff reeled in a commitment from the No. 1 safety in Louisiana, Dashawn Spears, in the 2024 cycle with the immediate impact stud turning heads already.
It'll be hard to keep Spears off of the field this fall. He's been a bright spot and has an opportunity to take impactful snaps if need be. After getting a firsthand look at the youngster during March and April, he was noticeably impactful. As it stands, Sage Ryan and Texas A&M transfer Jardin Gilbert have been running as the starting safeties with Major Burns rolling in the STAR position.
Here's the latest buzz on freshman cornerback PJ Woodland, who has earned first-team reps during his first offseason in Baton Rouge:The youngster has already started turning heads after skyrocketing up the depth chart during his first spring in Baton Rouge as an early-enrollee. “Competitiveness. PJ Woodland is a competitor,” Baker said of Woodland.“He’s feisty, he’s physical, and he can run. More than anything, for a freshman, we’ve thrown him out there with the ones some and thrown him out there against our top receivers and he competes. That’s where it starts, but he has the physical tools. He has long levers, he’s physical and he can run, so I’ve been impressed with him. It wasn’t easy.
It's a different scheme than a season ago. LSU will work in a press coverage set for the most part under Baker and cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond where it allows the Tigers to be more physical.
