BATON ROUGE, LA - The Tigers practiced outdoors on Saturday morning as they continue to improve, gel and prepare for the 2024 season.

They worked on individual and full team drills. with some 11 on 11 battles.

The buzz on the backup quarterback competition continues as Brian Kelly hopes to settle on his #2 at some point soon.

Look forward to a break out season by Kyren Lacy. He was joined by Chris Hilton Jr. and Aaron Anderson, working with the first unit on offense.

Position battles continue to heat up as the Tigers work their way through the spring camp which will culminate with the spring game in Tiger Stadium on Saturday, April 13th. TBD.

After the disaster last season that was the defense, which no doubt cost LSU a possible national championship run, everyone has high hopes for drastic improvement on that side of the ball. New defensive coordinator Blake Baker has brought energy to the defensive unit. The big buzz is now on a new position that he calls the "Star"... Major Burns has been working in the 'Star' spot which looks to be a rover type position.

“The star gives you a lot more versatility in your defensive structure,” Kelly said. “A guy that can play man coverage, a guy that can blitz, a guy that can play zone coverage, a really good tackler, athletic in space. Also a guy that’s rugged enough that if you put a tight end he can handle himself at the line of scrimmage.”

On Saturday Ashton Stamps and Javien Toviano continue to work with the first unit at cornerback. Jardin Gilbert, who transferred to Baton Rouge from Texas A&M and Sage Ryan are the first unit safeties at the moment. Ryan was everywhere on Saturday, making several big plays, including a pick six.

It was great to see Emery Jones return to practice on Saturday.
