From the quarterback position to the defensive line, the Tigers have plenty of talent on their roster.  

With so many great players on their squad, there will be players who don’t get on the field often. However, once those players get on the field, they can make an immediate impact and can play a significant role in the upcoming games. 

Chris Hilton Jr.

Hilton didn’t see any targets and very little playing time in the first game vs. Florida State, but against Southern, Hilton showed people what he could do once he’s on the field. 

The 6-foot-1, 182-pound redshirt freshman from Zachary, Louisiana, made the most of his opportunity during the blowout win against Southern University. He caught five passes for 47 yards, and though it’s not eye-popping and seems like a standard stat line, there was more behind it than numbers.

Hilton showed off his consistent route running to create separation, continually was a target for his quarterback and showed off his great hands. He can also make moves after the catch and make defenders miss. 

Hilton was highly touted coming out of high school as he was a four-star recruit and ranked 11th in the country for wide receivers, according to 247sports.com.

Although nothing he did was deemed spectacular, he showed off his potential and with more consistent play when he stepped on the field. He could be more involved for the Tigers down the stretch. 

Sai’vion Jones

Due to the injury of BJ Ojulari, Jones was able to get the start as an edge for Saturday’s game and he made an instant impact on defense. The 6-foot-6, 250-pound edge rusher had six total tackles, one tackle for loss and half a sack.

Jones showed his explosiveness coming off the ball and his finesse moves while pressuring the quarterback. He also added something to the defense that was much needed: a high motor and effort for the Tigers. During the Florida State game, there was a lack of effort being shown on the field along with poor body language, but Jones brought a lot of energy to the Tiger’s defense and took advantage of a golden opportunity.

The Tigers could use more effective pass rushers and even though it was only one game for him, Jones could be another gem for the defense and can play a crucial role for them in the future.

Armoni Goodwin

Goodwin played well against Southern and can be a bright spot for the offense. Due to the academic suspension of starting running back John Emery Jr., Armoni Goodwin and Noah Cain were splitting carries. Despite that, Goodwin caught many people’s attention.

He didn’t make much of his opportunities against Florida State since LSU was trailing most of the game and had to become a pass-heavy offense. But against Southern, Goodwin showed off many factors that you should keep an eye out for. Goodwin received 12 carries and rushed for 85 yards with two touchdowns. He displayed his big play ability by breaking tackles and keeping his defenders off him with stiff arms and agility.

That was on display again against Mississippi State after he broke off a 47-yard touchdown run to seal the game. He finished the game with nine carries for 75 yards.

Something that wasn’t talked much about was his ability to pass block. The 5-foot-8, 195-pound sophomore from Birmingham, Alabama, did a great job on pass blocking. With the offensive line still needing to be more consistent and time to start clicking, having a running back who can pass block is huge for an offense.

Although Emery returned for the game against Mississippi State, Goodwin can still be a great second option for the Tigers and can play a similar role that Clyde Edwards-Helaire had with Nick Brosette in 2018 as a one-two punch duo.
