Transfers Shine as Veterans Struggle | LSU Tigers Football News

After Week 1, some players soared while others stumbled—here’s who’s climbing and who’s sliding. Jeremiah Alexander dominated the defense with seven tackles and a pass deflection, earning top PFF honors. Meanwhile, offensive tackle Brayden Jacobs struggled mightily against the rush, failing to live up to preseason hype. Cornerback Elliot Washington II also shined, matching Alexander’s tackle total with two pass breakups and the best CB grade on the team. Edge rusher Jahiem Lawson had a tough night, getting targeted repeatedly and failing to set the edge. But London Merritt, another transfer, flashed elite athleticism and earned an above-average PFF score. These standout performances hint at what’s possible as the season unfolds.
