Kelly highlighted a pair of freshmen to make an impact on defense, chance to see the field in Week 1.
Brian Kelly and the LSU football staff reeled in an impressive haul in the 2024 class after finishing with a Top 10 class in the cycle.
Now, heading into Week 1 against the USC Trojans, there are a pair of youngsters to keep tabs on with an opportunity to make immediate noise for the program.LSU defensive lineman Ahmad Breaux has been a player Kelly has circled as an impactful freshman for weeks. He's been the most "mentally and physically" ready first-year Tiger who's lived in the weight room this offseason.
He's switched positions, bulked up his body and ultimately made a big enough splash during Fall Camp to earn praise from Kelly. "I think on the offensive side of the ball, there's less likely of that scenario happening. I think defensively you could see a couple of freshmen get on the field. I think Ahmad Breaux is the one guy that could see the most action," Kelly said. "He's the most ready physically and mentally to play for us. PJ Woodland is another freshman who is likely to see some playing time. That doesn't include some who make cameo appearances on special teams.
