Coach Ed Orgeron Has High Praise For Freshman DE Arden Key

Bruce Feldman with Fox Sports recently wrote an article titled "The Top 10 most eye-opening performances of bowl season," which included LSU's defensive front.

The mix of young and veteran LSU defensive lineman was able to pressure Texas Tech quarterback Patrick Mahomes all night long and recorded six sacks in the Tigers 56-27 rout in the Texas Bowl.

A key piece of that defensive front is outstanding LSU freshman end Arden Key who coach Ed Orgeron gave high praise to in Feldman's article:

"I've never had a guy like this," Orgeron told FOX Sports Monday of the 6-6, 231-pounder. Orgeron also produced Top-10 pick Leonard Williams, but he was more of a 3-Technique and not like Key. "Arden's so fast and long, and instinctive and smart. He's also tough as nails. Hardy was stronger but not as fast or fluid like this guy. Wait till he gets to 250 (pounds)."
