LSU football’s offensive line is a question mark entering the 2025 season. LSU lost four starters from its 2024 unit: Will Campbell, Emery Jones, Garrett Dellinger, and Miles Frazier. All four were impact players dating back to 2022, Brian Kelly’s first year in Baton Rouge. In 2023, the group was a finalist for the Joe Moore Award, the recognition annually given to college football’s top offensive line.
Their exits leave a void up front.
LSU got mixed results from the unit in 2024. The Tigers were among the best at preventing sacks but struggled to get a consistent push in the run game. LSU’s 116.4 rush yards per game ranked 107th in college football, well below LSU’s standard.
Kelly hired Alex Atkins as run game coordinator. Atkins was an architect of efficient and explosive rushing attacks at Florida State. LSU needs Atkins to have the same impact in Baton Rouge.
LSU is nearly finished with spring practice. The last few weeks offered a preview of what the offensive line might look like. Here’s an updated depth chart prediction before LSU wraps up spring ball next week.

Tyree Adams appears to own a firm lead in the left tackle competition. Adams got the start at left tackle in the Texas Bowl after Will Campbell opted out and Adams is getting most of the reps in spring.
Keep an eye on true freshman Solomon Thomas and Carius Curne. Don’t bet on either winning a starting job out of the gate, but both have the tools and talent to make year one impacts.
But if Adams is healthy, I expect him to be Nussmeier’s blind side protector in week one.
