Speaking of laying the wood. Here is a great writeup JohnLSU found.

SI's Takkle.com compares Loston to Jack Tatum:

Loston is impressive. He is aggressive and is like a heat seeking missle attacking the ball carrier. Some of the older readers may remember Jack Tatum. This guy plays with that passion. (LINK)

Jack "the Assassin" Tatum was a First Round Draft Pick NFL star for John Madden's Raiders in the 70's -- he was five-time All-Pro ('73 to '77) and Super Bowl Champion ('77).

Tatum played college ball for Woody Haye's Ohio State, where assistant coach Lou Holtz used him on defense. Tatum was a two-time unanimous All American ('69-'70). In '69, Tatum finished #10 in the Heisman voting, and in '70 Tatum finished #7 in the Heisman voting.

Tatum was one of the hardest hitters ever to play the game, and was responsible for the hit that left a Patriots WR paralyzed from the chest down for the rest of his life. He also knocked out a Colts TE. His hit on Vikings WR Sammy White in Super Bowl XI was one of the best hits in Super Bowl history.

At Ohio State, Tatum was such a hard-hitter, that in 2001, Jim Tressel instituted the "Jack Tatum Hit of the Week Award," given to the Ohio State player who had the most impressive defensive hit of the game.
