LSU defensive tackle Drake Nevis is having one of those year’s most players can only dream about. For starters, he’s one of the standouts on an LSU football team that is 7-0 overall and ranked No. 6 in the BCS Standings. LSU will get a chance to improve its ranking on Saturday when the Tigers head to The Plains to take on fourth-ranked Auburn at 2:30 p.m. on CBS.
Nevis has been one of the big reasons for LSU’s dominance on the defensive side of the ball this year as he’s third on the team with 38 tackles, and ranks second in the SEC in both tackles for losses (11.5) and sacks (5.0). He’s also added an interception, forced two fumbles, recorded a safety and had a quarterback hurry.
Nevis’ numbers are in line through seven games with the two most dominant defensive lineman in college football in recent history; LSU’s Glenn Dorsey in 2007 and Nebraska’s Ndamukong Suh in 2009.
