One year can make all the difference

LSU’s 2017 recruiting class is quickly turning out to be one with numerous defensive contributors.

Outside linebacker K’Lavon Chaisson, who started when Arden Key was unavailable last season, will be a full-time starter in 2018. Safety Grant Delpit, a starter in his true freshman season, is back in that role this year.

Then, there are the players who saw limited action a season ago who are now going to be major contributors this year.
