LSU football left tackle Will Campbell was one of the best tackles in college football for three years. After signing as a five-star recruit in 2022, Campbell earned the starting job as a freshman.
Campbell posted a 75.4 offensive grade as a freshman, according to PFF. That was good enough to rank seventh in the SEC among offensive tackles.
As a sophomore, Campbell was All-SEC and the anchor of an offensive line that was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award. Campbell returned as a junior and capped off his LSU career with consensus All-American honors.
Now, Campbell heads to the NFL Draft, where he has a chance to be a top 10 overall pick. ESPN’s Field Yates slotted Campbell at No. 4 overall to the New England Patriots in his latest mock draft.
With Campbell gone, LSU has big shoes to fill. LSU was lucky to have Campbell — it’s rare to have a left tackle who starts three straight years. Change is on its way now.
For the first time in three years, LSU has uncertainty at the left tackle position. The Tigers have options — all with potential.
Here’s a breakdown of LSU football’s left tackle candidates entering 2025.

Adams served as LSU’s backup left tackle in 2024 and started the bowl game after Campbell opted out to prepare for the NFL Draft. Adams allowed three pressures, but didn’t surrender a sack in LSU’s win over Baylor.

If LSU is going with an in-house option, Adams makes the most sense. He played guard and tackle in 2024, and there were growing pains, but overall, the staff liked his development.
If Adams doesn’t end up at tackle, there’s…
