Below are the SEC’s top 5 defensive backs heading into next year.
1) Derek Stingley Jr. — LSU
It is no mistake that Stingley Jr. is first on this list, given his ability to lock down an entire side of the field and willingness to fight for the football. Of his 38 tackles in 2019, 31 of them were solo. Stingley Jr. added six interceptions and broke up 15 passes as a freshman.
LSU, also known as “DBU,” has produced the best of defensive backs, and Stingley Jr. is next. He is a playmaker and gamechanger at that.
