No. 9 — Rickey Jefferson and the Secondary
Note: Rickey Jefferson is switching his jersey number to No. 9 in honor of his brother Jordan Jefferson, who wore No. 9 as a Tiger.
This year’s Tiger team welcomes back head coach Les Miles, eighteen starters from 2015 and the nation’s premier recruiting class. Both players and fans now have their sights set on a national championship.
Key to the pursuit of this illustrious goal will be the performance of new defensive coordinator Dave Aranda’s defense, and especially the success of LSU’s defensive backs and safeties.
