No. 1 -- SS Loston. Junior Craig Loston (6-2, 208) is expected to replace senior Brandon Taylor and join talented junior FS Eric Reid (6-2, 208) to form quite a tandem. Loston was the No. 1 high school S in the country coming out of high school in 2009, but he has so far not lived up to his billing. This is the year that he does it or is moved aside. No. 2 -- WR Landry. Sophomore Jarvis Landry (6-0, 190) was a top-5 receiver out of high school on most recruiting lists and was expected to become a top receiver for the Tigers in 2011, but an injury to his foot in August set him back. He still displayed excellent speed on special teams. Landry is needed with the loss of WR Rueben Randle to the NFL draft a year early, LSU has just one proven WR returning in Odell Beckham Jr. No. 3 -- TB Ware. Through the first half of the season, Spencer Ware (5-11, 223) established himself as the Tigers' top TB as he displayed power, speed and receiving skills. After failing a second drug test and serving a one-game suspension for the Auburn game in week eight, he never was quite the same, and TB Michael Ford surpassed him. If Ware does not return to his early 2011 form, someone else will take over again.
