Sophomore linebacker Harold Perkins was voted to the first-team, while wide receiver Malik Nabers and defensive lineman Mekhi Wingo both landed on the second-team.
Perkins is probably LSU’s best player and arguably one of the best defensive players in the entire country. He exploded onto the scene last year with 13 TFLs, 7 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, and an interception. Perkins is on numerous national award watchlists such as the Butkus (best linebacker) Walter Camp (player of the year), and the Bednarik (best defensive player).
