LSU shuffling defensive line around after Ed Alexander setbacks

Dave Aranda credited LSU coach Ed Orgeron a month ago for addressing LSU's defensive line depth, or lack thereof. He said Orgeron brought in bodies that could give the Tigers options in 2018.

Those options are already beginning to present themselves.

Orgeron said while speaking to the Baton Rouge Rotary Club on Wednesday (Aug. 1) that Texas Tech transfer Breidon Fehoko will be moving from defensive end to nose tackle.

The reasons for this move are two-fold. Orgeron said the returning starter at nose tackle, Ed Alexander, suffered some "minor setbacks" from knee injuries that kept him out of spring practice.
