LSU filled 10 of the 50 first and second-team spots while Nicholls had the second-most representatives, six, in voting by a Louisiana Sports Writers Association panel of media and sports information contacts.

Appropriately, LSU’s Ed Orgeron and Tim Rebowe of Nicholls shared state Coach of the Year honors, tying in the balloting. It was the second straight year for Rebowe to capture the accolade.

LSU linebacker Devin White was a landslide pick as the All-Louisiana Defensive Player of the Year, while Tiger quarterback Joe Burrow won Newcomer of the Year honors. White was a repeat selection.
