Jackson will start off with an opportunity to play in the slot on offense. He's a consensus 5-Star cornerback out of NOLA but his returning ability and speed/quickness combo in space is too much not to give him an opportunity to impact the offense with it.
If not he is a likely candidate to RS as there's simply a plethora of talent in the Secondary this year barring injury.
Tolliver is already competing to start at CB opposite of Tre'Davious White. Xavier Lewis will not play more than likely, unless its on ST.
All of the tailbacks we signed will play. Brosette & Guice will get carries with Ducre getting looks with Williams as a true Soph at the FB position on offense to start.
The only lineman who will get opportunities to play will be on Defense, and Arden Key will have to make a LOT of noise in Fall Camp to crack the rotation as thin as we are on the DL. He missed the original report date for Freshman in June so he won't get here until well after the S&C cycle and offseason workouts with the team have been in full swing. He'll face an uphill adjustment.
Tyron Johnson is a playmaker. Right now. He will be in the 2-deep at receiver from Day 1. He's an out-and-out difference maker from his first day on campus. If there are any injuries he will be on the field routinely. He'll get his number called early vs. McNeese to see if he can translate his electricity from Friday to Saturday Nights. My educated guess is that he absolutely will.
Just a kid you can't keep off the field.

That would be nice. By posting what I did, it's now possible because nobody wants to prove me right.

He's fighting Ed Paris for the #2 CB spot
He'll be an every week player whether at starting CB or in the nickle back

I don't think he'll see it too much. Maybe 3 carries per game. Once he gets in his Moffitt form that will change. I hear he's not very strong and could be in better shape.

I can see jet sweeps to Jackson and quick screens to Johnson as early as Week 1. Both are too advanced/athletic to keep off he field.

Isiah Washington at DE is my sleeper to get some playing time this year.

Brossette will get on the field.
I'd be shocked if he didn't play on kickoff/punt coverage teams.

You better hope not. He's not the kind of freshman OL you want to actually play.

Still bitter the top 2 OL in Texas wanted nothing to do with A&M? Keep that shite outta here.

If Ducre plays the hybrid FB/RB I think Brossette red shirts. If Ducre is a full on FB, Brossette will play. Les will have 4 RB's ready to go.

RBs don't redshirt at LSU. Brossette will play, it may only be in garbage time but he will play

Toby will be a guard at LSU because we actually have a running game. He may eventually move to RT, but judging him as if he were on A&Ms Oline (pass protection and nothing else) is dumb & unnecessary.

The real name you'll hear a lot is Donte Jackson. The staff thinks he's too talented to not play in the slot at times. He's probably the fastest freshman in college football. Pretty much a taller Adoree Jackson, favorite signee.
I don't think LSU is going to play any of its ol class. i'd much rather redshirt them like Clapp and Brumsfield last season in order to put on more weight and learn the scheme. LSU has a big deep OL, so I wouldn't be shocked.
LSU already has 5 really good/great receiver, so I think by default Tyron Johnson won't be seen much.
I think they'll sacrifice growth pains and give Arden Key a lot of reps.
Ducre will see the field at FB.
It was a nice depth building, top heavy class to complement the 2014 class

I think P. Williams will see a good number of reps as well if healthy. If Pearson returns I could see him getting a redshirt. Kirkland could also see the field if healthy. I agree with most everyone else you listed although I don't think Richmond or Jones will be as heavily used as the others.

Kevin Toliver - Potential starter, but will definitely play
Donte Jackson - Will see PT on offense and defense, but his main impact will be on special teams
Derrius Guice - Haven't had a speed/elusive back like him in a while, I expect him to get at least 5 carries per game, probably around 75 for the season
Tyron Johnson - I expect him to play pretty sparingly this year. 10 receptions is probably his ceiling for the year.
Arden Key - Will likely play like Teuhema did last year in late game blowout situations and extreme pass-rush situations
Xavier Lewis, Nick Brosette, David Ducre, and an O-linemen or 2 will all play in mop up duty and will provide depth in case of injury
For the most part though, there is always one or 2 guys that play way more than any of us expect. Last year that was Davon Godchaux and Sione Teuhema. Godchaux was an average 4-star recruit who didn't even play senior year football due to a bad injury and who I would not have thought would play much, and he turned out to be our best D-linemen. Teuhema was almost unanimously thought to only be in the signing class so we could lock in his brother for 2015, but he ended up playing in 9 games last year.

Because he wasn't that good in HS. His footwork was just bad.

He needs to be. No way he'll be a tackle at the college level.

La'el played two years at guard before taking over at LT. Not saying Toby would end up at LT or even RT, but it's been done & done successfully.

RB - Derrius Guice and David Ducre will both see a good bit of time. Nick Brosette will get some carries as well.
WR - Tyron Johnson will see time behind Dural and Dupre. He's that good.
DE - Teheum, Key, and Washington will all see snaps due to lack of depth at the spot.
DB - Tolliver could very well start out wide from day 1. If he doesn't, he will be the nickelback.
Wildcard - Donte Jackson. He could see time at WR and ST.
