Spring training is underway for LSU football. This is the first real look we receive at the 2025 team. For a handful of players, it is their first training with LSU. The first registrants and the transfer of the transfer portal make their debut in practice of the LSU.
There is a long way to go before the toes meet leather in the fall, but in the coming weeks will be the first real indicator of how LSU plans to use its first year class and transfer portal in 2025.
LSU has much more continuity in 2025 than in 2024. Last spring, LSU replaced the coordinators in attack and defense while breaking in a new starting quarter. NOW, QB Garrett Nussmeier returns For his fifth year of university football. The attacking coordinator Joe Sloan and the defensive coordinator Blake Baker also return.
In places where LSU lacks continuity, the tigers compensated for it with experience in the transfer portal. The LSU loses a large part of its wide receiver and its defensive production, but LSU added several transfers with Power Four Experience to these positions.
Here are five newcomers with an escape potential in the spring.
Carius CARIUS Offensive Carius
By ON3, Curne was a five -star recruit And the interior offensive line n ° 2 in the recruitment class of 2025.
But don’t pay too much attention to this inner tag. Each line player signed by LSU in 2025 has been listed as an interior offensive line player. This is how the recruitment services saw these recruits, but it was sure to suppose that LSU saw one or two as a potential tackle. Curne will have a chance to make his mark on the edge.
Curne is a bizarre athlete and has the potential to play anywhere on the offensive line. Its 33.5 inch arms are lower than the average for the offensive plated of the NFL, but Will Campbell has proven that you don’t need long arms to be an elite tackle in the dry. Curne has the tools to compete for a starting place in the first year. He will have to make a strong impression in the practice of spring.
Josh Thompson offensive
Thompson would not be a real escape in the sense It is already a known quantity. He was a two -year start to Northwestern before going to the dry. However, it is new in LSU and is a key lever for this offensive line.
In Northwestern, Thompson played guard and tackle. LSU does not know how he will mix his best five at the front, which means that Thomson could end between the left tackle and the right guard in LSU.
If LSU finds a younger player to emerge in Tackle and Thompson can settle in guard, he has a chance to be one of the best guards in the dry. LSU needs that after the interior offensive line was a problem point in 2024. A Fort Spring de Thompson will be the first LSU stage to relaunch its racing game.
Tight end Bauer Sharp
With Mason Taylor Party and Trey’dez Green is not ready to assume a major blocking role, LSU needed a tight -end prototype. Tigers found that in The addition of the old tight end of the Oklahoma Bauer Sharp.
No one will confuse Sharp for a wide receiver, but it was the Sooners“The main receiver in 2024. Sharp can add a little to the game of passes while being one of the best tight ends of blocking the dry. If Sharp appears as a balanced threat, the LSU will have flexibility of the staff in 2025.
Running back Harlem Berry
Berry was the best rank in the 2025 class. He is an electric playmaker who can run downhill and create in space. You could say similar things about Caden Durham, who had a year of escape for tigers in 2024.
Durham returns and will be the functionality of LSU, but Berry has a chance to be an important contributor. LSU loses Josh Williams and needs another ball carrier to whom he can trust. Berry will compete with Kaleb Jackson junior back for a major part of RB2 races.
Berry is one of the most anticipated beginnings in spring. LSU has been signed for some time for a five -star ball carrier.
Cornerback Mansoor Delane
Like Thompson, Delane is not a real escape. He was a manufacturer of difference in Virginia Tech secondary. LSU needs Delane to have the same impact on red baton.
The Tigers lose the zy Alexander corner half, who was one of the best defenders in the dry in 2024 and gave LSU a feeling of corner stability for the first time in the Brian Kelly era. Like Alexander, Delane is a physical corner that can play man in the Bontray.
LSU flirted with the idea of playing Delane safely, but if Delane can give the game of half of Lsu Elite, this is where he adds the most value. Spring is a chance to see if Delane will be the needs of CB1 LSU.
Cornerback DJ Pickett
I have mentioned LSU’s lack of stability at the corner in recent years. The Tigers hope that the addition of five -star Cornerback DJ Pickett will run the tide. Pickett joined LSU before the Bowl match and made a strong first impression. The spring will indicate if Pickett is ready to be a starter of the first day at the corner.
If Delane and Pickett are all they talked about, the LSU corner room will be the best in the Kelly era in Lsu.
