Better Know a Freshman: Latterance Welch

For years, LSU has been a “football factory,” cranking out players who would go on to have great careers in the NFL. One position group, however, always stood out above the rest: the defensive backfield. Regardless of what Ohio State University or the University of Florida might claim, LSU is the one true “DBU.” With players like Patrick Peterson, Morris Claiborne, Corey Webster, Tyrann Mathieu, Tre’Davious White and now Derek Stingley, Jr., the Bayou Bengals have the uncanny ability of churning out top defensive backs who go on to the pros with a “Doctorate of Defensive Back” with majors in interceptions and passes defensed.
