Tommy Whitted brings veteran linebacker grit and steady production to Louisiana
Tommy Whitted has been a dependable, physical presence for Louisiana, with the kind of inside-linebacker toughness that shows up in pursuit, tackling reliability, and backfield recognition. In the 2017 season, he appeared in all 12 games and recorded 20 tackles, including a career-high five against Appalachian State, which hints at a player who can contribute in rotation and handle meaningful snaps when called upon[1]. His profile suggests a blue-collar fit: not flashy, but alert, sturdy, and trustworthy in run support. If a roster wants a linebacker who plays with discipline and brings steady effort, Whitted fits that mold[1][2].
