Kyle Williams Named LSU Defensive Line Coach

LSU has officially hired former All-American Kyle Williams as its new defensive line coach, marking a significant change in a position that has seen high turnover under head coach Brian Kelly. Williams, who previously played for the Tigers and spent 13 years in the NFL with the Buffalo Bills, aims to bring continuity to a coaching role that has seen six different coaches in four years. Kelly praised Williams for his impressive resume, character, and ability to connect with players, emphasizing the need for stability at the position. Williams recently left his role as defensive coordinator at Ruston High School and is expected to enhance the development of LSU's defensive linemen. Former coach Bo Davis, who left for the New Orleans Saints, expressed confidence in Williams' capabilities, highlighting his extensive knowledge of the game. As spring practice begins, both Kelly and the program are optimistic about the impact Williams will have on the team's performance.
