Smart moves

LSU linebacker Darry Beckwith and defensive end Tyson Jackson are coming back to school next season, Tigers coach Les Miles announced today.

Those are good decisions by both players.

Jackson only had to look at Glenn Dorsey to see that coming back can help your stock, particularly as a defensive lineman. If he has the kind of year many expect, Jackson will do nothing but improve his stock.

Beckwith can do the same just by having a healthy season.

Besides improving their draft stock, the return of those two players helps a defense that figured to be in transition after the loss of several key players.
