In Focus: K'Lavon Chaisson

K'Lavon Chaisson only knows one starting speed: full throttle.

With sky-high expectations entering his sophomore year in 2018 after exploding onto the scene as a freshman, Chaisson came revving out of the gate in the season-opener against Miami, recording a career-best 6 tackles in three quarters of action.

But one simple move off the edge in the fourth quarter would leave LSU's starting pass rusher laying flat on his stomach on the turf inside AT&T Stadium. A raucous crowd of Cajuns enjoying a 33-17 lead immediately went silent, and as Chaisson walked off the field under his own power, he had no idea those would be his final tackles of the season.
