That makes three LSU defenders on the first team and two special teams players being honored.

This is Williams' and White’s second-straight season being named first-team All-SEC by the AP. Last year, LSU had six total players picked and three on the first team.

White is a Butkus Award finalist with 115 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and three sacks. He also has a fumble recovery for 29 yards and two forced fumbles, including the one Michael Divinity returned for a touchdown to tie the game against Texas A&M on Nov. 24.

Williams -- who declared for the NFL Draft on Sunday -- has two interceptions and nine pass breakups this season and is one of the top lockdown corners in the country. He’s a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award and is considered a potential Top-5 NFL Draft pick.

Delpit is a finalist for the Nagurski Trophy -- the winner is announced Monday night -- and has been the breakout star for LSU. He has 73 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, five sacks and five interceptions. The sophomore has been Dave Aranda’s secret weapon, being used as a safety, a nickel corner and a pass rusher off the edge.

Tracy, a Lou Groza Award finalist, is 29-of-35 this season on field goals and has been named SEC special teams player of the week four times. The graduate transfer from Assumption College is also 38-of-38 on PATs and made the game-winning field goal 42-yard field goal as time expired to beat Auburn 22-21.

 

Zach Von Rosenberg has been one of LSU’s most important weapons as the offense has struggled at times this season. LSU is No. 8 in the country in punt efficiency, and Von Rosenberg is averaging 46 yards per punt.
