LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond: When even outsiders refer to your program as “DBU,” your secondary coach must be doing something right. Of course it helps that LSU’s defensive backs depth chart is annually stocked with talented players, but it’s not like they were all Patrick Peterson-type five-star prospects coming out of high school. LSU led the SEC and ranked third nationally in passing defense last season, surrendering just 164.2 yards per game. But out of the five DBs who handled most of the starts (cornerbacks Tre'Davious White, Jalen Collins and Rashard Robinson and safeties Ronald Martin and Jalen Mills), four-star prospect White was the only one whom ESPN did not grade as either a two- or three-star prospect. That means LSU does a good job evaluating DB talent and that Raymond knows how to develop those players once they arrive on campus.
