The LSU defense is something that plenty will be watching this upcoming season. After a dreadful run in the 2020 campaign, head coach Ed Orgeron replaced his defensive coordinator with Daronte Jones in hopes of fixing what ails them. NFL scouts are also going to keep an eye on Baton Rouge.

Luke Easterling released his latest three-round projections with three LSU Tigers on the defensive side in the mix.
