#LSU defensive end Dylan Carpenter has waited his turn and now, the St. Amant product is right there in the two deep getting a lot of reps. @GridironFootbal
LSU DC Blake Baker says he feels good about the depth and explosion in the edge rusher group and that he's seen a lot of growth from guys at the defensive end.
Talks about Princewill Umanmielen and Jordan Ross since their arrival in the spring.
Then mentions former St. Amant star Dylan Carpenter:
"He's absolutely been outstanding when you talk about where he was when he came in as a freshman to where he is now."
And a couple of other young Louisiana natives in Lamar Brown (U-High) and Kolaj Cobbins (Destrehan).
With Gabriel Reliford out with an ACL tear, someone else will need to step up in the edge room.
Here's a look at some of the individual work from today.
Damien Shanklin, Trenton Henderson, Dylan Carpenter, Jaylen Brown, Jordan Ross, and Kolaj Cobbins shown here.

LSU coach Brian Kelly on former St. Amant star Dylan Carpenter, who notched his first sack Saturday.
"He just kept working hard every day, and so it's great to see those kind of stories with a kid from the state that had some success on Saturday, and he played well."
Says he built trust with the staff that he'll be a solid player in his opportunities when he goes into the game.

A guy that's impressed me the past few days at #LSU Fall Camp is #97 Dylan Carpenter.
The St. Amant product has a high motor and competed well in the one-on-one's.
Carpenter is 6-4, 258 and part of the young core of talent in the Tigers defensive end room.
