LSU’s defense ranks in the top 20 in College Football 25

Anyone who watched the LSU Tigers in 2023 knows that the defense was not even close to being up to par.

It was one of the worst units in the SEC and proved to be a limiting factor as the team failed to return to Atlanta or make the College Football Playoff. Blake Baker is now in charge of the defense, and while there are star players like Harold Perkins, Zy Alexander and safety transfer Jardin Gilbert, there are still plenty of questions.

In spite of those questions, EA Sports thinks it will be a pretty good unit this fall. It revealed the defensive ratings for the upcoming College Football 25 video game, and the Tigers rank in the top 20 at No. 18 with an 84 rating.

If the Tigers’ defense can take a leap, it could be a pretty successful season on the Bayou with high hopes for the offense, which EA ranked No. 6 in its team ratings.
