Tashawn Bower’s LSU edge game was built on motor, versatility, and a late-blooming burst
At LSU in the 2016 season, Tashawn Bower’s value came from effort, positional flexibility, and a disruptive finish, not eye-popping volume: he played in 40 career games, posted 60 tackles, 12.0 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks, with his best LSU stretch coming under Dave Aranda’s hybrid scheme. His calling card was edge versatility and a relentless motor—he closed his Tigers career with a 3-sack Citrus Bowl explosion against Lamar Jackson. For a defense, he fits as a high-effort rotational edge who can create chaos, though durability and top-end production were never his headline traits.
