LSU’s Dashawn McBryde named a top freshman defensive back by Phil Steele
When it comes to LSU’s secondary in 2024, the name of the game will be development.
The Tigers have some proven pieces, to be sure. Veteran transfer cornerback Zy Alexander was a bright spot when healthy last season, while safety Major Burns is coming off a career year and will be playing alongside an experienced transfer addition in Jardin Gilbert.
But elsewhere, LSU is hoping second-year players like Ashton Stamps and Javien Toviano will take steps, and it could be relying on young players for depth as PJ Woodland seems to be pushing for a starting spot on the outside as a true freshman.
Woodland isn’t the only true freshman defensive back to watch out for, though. Safety Dashawn McBryde was the top-rated defensive back in the Tigers’ class, and the Denham Springs native was named the No. 24 freshman defensive back in the country this season by Phil Steele.
McBryde was a top-100 prospect nationally and the No. 3 player in Louisiana coming out of high school. It remains to be seen if he can see the field early, but he could be part of the safety rotation as a true freshman.
