After successfully rolling players off its kick coverage teams to starting linebacker roles over the past few years, perhaps LSU is building a tradition.
At least the Tigers hope that’s the case with Donnie Alexander and Devin White set to take over at inside linebacker from senior standouts Kendell Beckwith and Duke Riley. Alexander and White were two of LSU’s best special-teams players last season, just as Riley and Deion Jones before them, but neither player has much experience as a starter now.
