Talented LSU football defender suffers season ending injury
LSU football will be without a young, talented defender for the entire 2026 season after a spring practice injury.
Another LSU football defender will miss the 2026 season after suffering an injury in spring practice. Sophomore cornerback Aidan Anding tore his Achilles and will be out for the year. Matt Moscona reported the news on Tuesday.
Anding's injury comes a couple of weeks after defensive end Gabe Reliford tore his ACL. LSU's defensive depth has taken a hit this spring. Anding signed with LSU as a four-star in the class of 2025.
He's a Louisiana native and played high school football at Ruston. He was a top-25 cornerback recruit in the country. Anding didn't play much defense as a true freshman, but he appeared in eight games on special teams.
His only defensive appearance was a single snap in LSU's win over Southeastern Louisiana. NEW: LSU CB Aidan Anding suffered a torn Achilles during Saturday’s scrimmage in Tiger Stadium, sources confirm. The sophomore suffered the injury on the play where he made his second interception of the scrimmage.
