LSU football won’t be favorites to repeat as national champions in 2020, thanks to a mass exodus of talented players that left Baton Rouge for the NFL.
But despite a significant loss of talent after the 2019 season, the Tigers still return a couple of the top players in the nation.
In fact, according to Athlon Sports, LSU has two of the top five returning players in the nation in 2020.
Athlon Sports recently ranked the top 50 players for 2020. LSU defensive back Derek Stingley Jr came in at No. 4 on their list, while wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase came in at No.
