Two key questions for LSU football as spring practice begins

LSU football began spring practice on Tuesday, with 13 more practices leading up to its spring game on Saturday, March 25. This is a crucial part of the offseason for any program, but especially for LSU. The Tigers’ new staff needs to understand how each individual in their 40-player transfer class will fit with the rest of the team and determine how best to utilize their talents come fall.

Naturally, things will change between now and September, but these initial impressions are extremely important and will play a huge role in what the team looks like next season. Here are two things on my mind as Lane Kiffin and Charlie Weis Jr. begin to figure out what their offense will look like in 2026.

Who will make up the starting five along the offensive line? LSU saw significant turnover this offseason all across the offense, and the offensive line is no exception. Only two starters from last season are returning for 2026: center Braelin Moore and right tackle Weston Davis, and the latter doesn’t have the starting role locked up by any means.

The surefire starters along the line are Moore and left tackle Jordan Seaton, who was the No. 1 tackle in the portal. Then there are a couple of likely starters in guards Aliou Bah and Devin Harper, but right tackle is a significant concern, with the trio of Sean Thompkins, Darrin Strey and Weston Davis competing for the role.
