What's your team's nickel defense?

Seeing as base defenses aren't run much anymore, what's your team's nickel defense? Who from the base comes off the field for the nickelback and who is the nickel?

For LSU's defense, the field linebacker, Corey Thompson, will go to the sideline and our nickel comes in. That nickel spot is highly competitive right now but it seems that Kary Vincent and Xavier Lewis are the frontrunners for that spot.


CB1. Donte Jackson
BUCK. Arden Key
DE. Rashard Lawrence
NT. Greg Gilmore
DE. Christian LaCouture
ILB. Devin White
ROVER. Donnie Alexander
Nickel. Kary Vincent
CB2. Kevin Toliver II

FS. Grant Delpit
SS. John Battle


Posted nickel lineups:

LSU
Mississippi State
Auburn
Kentucky

Are you implying it's unique to LSU that the LB leaves for a DB in the nickel?

That's everyone's nickel.

I'm specifically asking who goes off the field.

Of course the majority of defenses run off a linebacker but what about teams like Auburn that run a hybrid? Does Holland go off or is it Deshaun Davis?

ETA: I'm trying to get all the teams' nickel defenses right so I don't have to assume them in my updated defense projections.

ETA2: And since there's some teams running new schemes, like Arkansas, I know very little about their HOG and RAZOR LB positions.

Our nickel defense? It's a faith based initiative.

Will Jordan Jones or Josh Allen come off the field for it?

ETA: And who is Kentucky's nickelback?

Not unless any of them are more talented than anyone on Auburn's second string defense.

I don't know what we'll do with all our talent on defense, so deep with only 11 spots.

You should see second string. Maybe we can loan some DBs to MSU and ATM since they finished 13th and 14th in pass defense last year. Ouch.
