LSU’s hard-hitting, ball-hawking safety with elite pedigree
In the 2013 season, Craig Loston was a second-team All-SEC safety who led LSU’s secondary with veteran poise, physicality, and real playmaking juice: he posted 55 tackles and 3 interceptions, and he finished his Tigers career with 148 tackles, 7 tackles for loss, 7 picks, and a sack. He was a high-end national recruit and a Thorpe Award watch-list defender, with analysts and LSU coverage repeatedly highlighting his intensity, rangy coverage ability, and knack for changing games—like his 100-yard interception return for a touchdown. The caveat? Injuries were part of his story, so the fit is best for a team that values toughness and upside over spotless durability.
