LSU graduate assistant Kanan Ray is moving up.

Ray was hired by Tulane as an assistant offensive line coach, returning to his alma mater. Ray worked with Brad Davis and the LSU offensive line in 2024. Before joining LSU, Ray spent a year working as a grad assistant at Tulane in 2023, after he was a starting offensive lineman in 2022.

247Sports’ Matt Zenitz called Ray a “rising young coach.”

Ray previously worked with Wille Fritz and staff at Tulane, but Fritz accepted the head coaching job at Houston after the 2023 season. Now, with Jon Sumrall leading the program, Ray returns under a different staff.

Assistants with ties to LSU and Louisiana have a way of returning to the Tigers, so he’s a name to keep an eye on when it comes to future openings on LSU’s staff.

Ray was one of two support staffers to leave LSU for an AAC job on Friday, with offensive analyst Todd Fitch accepting the offensive coordinator position at Charlotte.
