Major concerns at two LSU defensive positions

Later this week, LSU will start preseason practice in preparation for the 2024 campaign which opens on Labor Day weekend against USC in Las Vegas.

The Tigers’ defense was one of the worst in school history last season. The defensive coaching staff was totally replaced. Blake Baker moved from Missouri to run the defense. Baker was an assistant on coach Ed Orgeron’s final staff in 2021.

The linebacker position is the only area on the defense which appears to be in good shape.
