LSU Football Fall Camp Day #2 RECAP | LSU Football Recruiting

LSU football wrapped up Day 2 of fall camp under the lights at the Ponderosa, showcasing high-intensity defensive rotations and a sharp passing game under new head coach Lane Kiffin. The Tigers operated a condensed 15-minute open-media window, implementing Kiffin's strict injury-prevention ramp-up program to keep the team healthy ahead of their September 5 season opener against Clemson. Day 2 Practice Takeaways & Highlights Defense Takes Center Stage: The evening session spotlighted the defensive unit, where the coaching staff brought immense energy. Defensive Backs Coach Corey Raymond pushed the secondary through heavy situational drills. [1, 2] True Freshmen Surge: In a historic move for the defensive front, true freshmen Richard Anderson and Deuce Geralds took first-team repetitions at interior defensive tackle. Local Baton Rouge native and freshman defensive end Lamar Brown also flashed elite instincts, recording a tackle for loss during 11-on-11 drills with the second unit.  Secondary Shakeups: Redshirt freshman safety Jhase Thomas unexpectedly took first-team snaps over Tamarcus Cooley. He lined up deep next to veteran Ty Benefield, reinforcing Kiffin's philosophy that the best players will play regardless of seniority. Leavitt to Transfer Targets: Quarterback Sam Leavitt looked fully recovered from an offseason foot injury. He displayed sharp downfield chemistry with elite transfer wide receivers, connecting on explosive sideline routes with Winston Watkins Jr. (Ole Miss) and Tre Brown (Old Dominion).
