LB. LSU. Devin White. 14. player. 52.

The Jaguars lost a lot more than I think they or anyone else thought when Paul Posluszny decided to retire from professional football.

The Jags have two studs at linebacker in Telvin Smith and Myles Jack but this is a defense that requires its linebackers to do a lot of things well, and that unit is missing an important third piece.

Devin White is a heck of a football player and fits the attitude and overall athletic makeup of what the Jaguars love to do defensively.

The junior has been flying around the field ever since he stepped on campus at LSU and is one of the best tacklers in all of college football.

Even though he’s still got about half of a season left, he’s racked up 66 tackles and seven tackles for loss already as a junior.
