While multiple players departed the LSU football program following the departure of Ed Orgeron, new head coach Brian Kelly sees players who opted to return that have surprised him. While he didn't commit to a starting quarterback, former starter Myles Brennan has impressed. "I think Myles Brennan...is a guy that has been here a long time, suffered an injury, battled back, had a really good spring game. Each one of the quarterbacks, [Garrett] Nussmeier to obviously, Jayden Daniels and [Walker] Howard, I mean, they all have different skills, and so when we get to camp, we're going to have to really put the offense into what they can do, but Brennan's, another guy that I think did a nice job." - On3.com

05/20/22 - *Anthony Bradford, Jr/2023, LSU, 6-4, 332 (DS#7 OG) + More +

The offensive line was one of LSU's biggest concerns heading into spring practice. It needed to replace four starters, and the only returner had never established himself. Every spot was open. The group lacked proven depth. They had to start from scratch. But the line came together over those four weeks of practice, and now head coach Brian Kelly feels "really good" about the position. He recognizes the line still needs to improve, but he didn't express as much concern as he did two months ago.Part of Kelly's optimism comes from the return of Anthony Bradford, who missed the last five games of the 2022 season and spring practice for undisclosed reasons.

Bradford, a 6-foot-5, 365-pound redshirt junior, started five games last fall between right guard and left tackle. "We're pegging him as a tackle, but he could play guard," Kelly said Wednesday night in Metairie at the Tiger Athletic Foundation's final Coaches Caravan stop. "He's got some really good versatility. But we'll see where he is. He's got a really big summer ahead of him. He hasn't been in our offseason program. He's got to stay healthy. When you're off that long, we've got to be careful with him, but I think we'll peg him at tackle." Bradford would likely play right tackle. LSU settled left tackle with true freshman Will Campbell, but the other side remained open as senior Cameron Wire and redshirt sophomore Marcus Dumervil competed for time. Bradford would push them, and his presence creates more depth. - Baton Rouge Advocate

05/20/22 - Jayden Daniels, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-3, 210 (DS#2 QB) + More +

Scoping SEC QB transfers: Eleven quarterbacks transferred to 10 SEC schools this offseason, with South Carolina's Spencer Rattler the lone guaranteed starter of the entire group. Here are On3.com ratings. No. 4. Jayden Daniels, LSU (from Arizona State). This slotting could look quite foolish if Daniels starts in the opener for the Tigers and looks awesome against Florida State, but I've already planted my flag on another LSU QB island this spring. Daniels is an electric athlete and should have a role in LSU's offense this fall, but Myles Brennan and Garrett Nussmeier both had better springs and offer more consistency in the passing game. Brian Kelly likes running quarterbacks and Daniels did take the initial snaps in the spring scrimmage, so he remains a real factor in a fascinating QB race down in Baton Rouge. - On3.com

LSU will play its season opener against Florida State this fall in primetime. Kickoff was set for 6:30 p.m. CT on ABC, the network announced Tuesday. The game takes place Sunday, Sept. 4, inside the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The game will be the first for LSU under new coach Brian Kelly as he tries to turn around the program. The Tigers are 11-12 since the last time they played in the Superdome during the 2019 national championship game. Florida State, which opens with Duquesne the week before, doesn't have a winning season since head coach Jimbo Fisher left in 2017. The Seminoles are 19-27 over the last four years. LSU and Florida State haven't played since 1991, when the then-No. 1 Seminoles won 26-17 in Tiger Stadium. LSU is 2-7 all-time against Florida State. - Baton Rouge Advocate

Kayshon Boutte heads into this season as LSU's most-talented wide receiver. Despite suffering a foot injury that sidelined him for more than half of last season, the junior already has 1,244 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in his collegiate career. LSU has a history of producing talented wideouts for the NFL - Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase come to mind - and Boutte could easily be the next in line. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

B.J. Ojulari, a sophomore edge rusher, has 11 sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss in just 23 career games played at LSU. He's been a contributor on LSU's defense since his freshman year and his ability to stay healthy - having not missed a game in two seasons - adds to his value as a potential draft pick. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser

04/27/22 - Jayden Daniels, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-3, 210 (DS#2 QB) + More +

After LSU's spring game, coach Brian Kelly acknowledged the scrimmage gave no indication of who will start at quarterback next season. "We didn't clear up anything with the quarterback today," Kelly said. "We probably made it even more difficult." All three quarterbacks competing for the position - sixth-year senior Myles Brennan, Arizona State transfer Jayden Daniels and redshirt freshman Garrett Nussmeier - rotated Saturday afternoon between the first- and second-team offenses. Nussmeier led the passers with 136 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, though he came close to throwing one along the sideline. He completed 56% of his passes (9 for 16) and a handful of throws were particularly impressive, including one down the opposite sideline to senior Jaray Jenkins. Nussmeier placed the ball around two defenders, but Jenkins dropped the pass.

Daniels, who took the first snaps, showed how his speed could shape LSU's offense if he wins the job. He finished with seven carries for 21 yards and one touchdown, but he would've had more yards in a live-contact situation. Refs quickly blew the plays dead, and defenders couldn't tackle the quarterbacks. Though more inconsistent, Daniels made some quality throws. He had a fade in the back of the end zone to Kyren Lacy broken up, and two plays later he lofted a 20-yard touchdown to Bech with touch. He also completed a 39-yard pass to Brian Thomas Jr. Daniels finished 3 of 9 for 68 yards. - Baton Rouge Advocate

04/23/22 - Sevyn Banks, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-1, 202 (DS#54 CB) + More +

Sevyn Banks became the latest outgoing Ohio State football transfer to head to the SEC, announcing on Twitter that he has committed to LSU. Banks, a Florida native, joins former Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly's first roster with the Tigers. He announced in January he was entering the portal as a graduate transfer. He withdrew his name from NFL Draft consideration due to an injury that kept him off the field at the end of last season. Banks did not play the first two games of the season or the final three games.

In between he generally held down a starting spot opposite freshman Denzel Burke. He totaled eight tackles and one pass breakup. As a first-time starter in 2020, he recorded a team-high seven pass breakups with 23 tackles, one interception and a 55-yard fumble return touchdown. He was one of the secondary's more consistent performers on OSU's drive to the national championship game. Banks joins receiver Jameson Williams (Alabama), quarterback Jack Miller III (Florida) and defensive lineman Darrion Henry-Young (Kentucky) as recent OSU transfers to SEC programs. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

04/21/22 - Sevyn Banks, rSr/2023, LSU, 6-1, 202 (DS#54 CB) + More +

Former Ohio State cornerback Sevyn Banks has signed with LSU, adding depth at a position of need and another transfer to the roster, the school announced Tuesday. Banks played four seasons at Ohio State. He appeared in 36 games and made 15 starts, bringing experience at outside cornerback. During his career, Banks recorded 43 tackles, 13 passes defended and two interceptions. He earned honorable mention All-Big Ten honors as a junior. Banks entered his senior year with NFL draft buzz, but he suffered a knee injury last spring that lingered into the season, limiting his production. Banks then missed the final three games with an injury. He entered the transfer portal in February. LSU needed more cornerbacks after losing every starter at the position this offseason. The Tigers signed UL junior Mekhi Garner, Oklahoma State senior Jarrick Bernard-Converse and two incoming freshmen, but the lack of depth on the roster has been exposed this spring as Bernard-Converse recovers from a fractured foot. - Baton Rouge Advocate

03/07/22 - Jayden Daniels, rSr/2024, LSU, 6-3, 210 (DS#2 QB) + More +

Former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels is transferring to LSU, where he will enter a wide-open competition to be the starter in coach Brian Kelly's first season with the Tigers. "Jayden is an outstanding player who will make our quarterback room even stronger," Kelly said Sunday in a statement. "He's a playmaker with a strong arm and the ability to make plays with his feet. We are excited to welcome Jayden to our program as we continue to build a roster of student-athletes who will compete for championships on the field and work just as hard in the classroom to earn their degree." Daniels entered the transfer portal last month, not long after Arizona State fired its offensive coordinator in the midst of an NCAA investigation. He has been Arizona State's starter the last three seasons, throwing for 6,025 yards, 32 touchdowns and 13 interceptions in 29 games. The junior has two years of eligible remaining after the NCAA granted an extra year to all athletes who competed during the pandemic-altered 2020 season. - AP College Football

03/06/22 - *Derek Stingley Jr., Jr/2022, LSU, 6-0, 188 (DS#2 CB) + More +

Former LSU cornerback Derek Stingley gave an update on his recovery from the Lisfranc surgery he had on his left foot to reporters at the 2022 NFL Draft Combine on Saturday. He revealed that the original timeline for his injury was 4-6 months and that he is ahead of schedule with his recovery. Stingley will not participate in Sunday's workouts for cornerbacks at the combine and is instead expected to work out for teams at LSU's Pro Day on April 6. He also declared that he is the best cornerback in the 2022 NFL Draft. "I know myself and I know that when I'm at the best version of myself, I'm the greatest," Stingley said. Due to the injury, Stingley only played in three games for LSU as a junior this past season. He was a Consensus All-American as a freshman and a first-team All-SEC selection as a sophomore. Stingley is a projected first-round pick. "Going into my second year and throughout my second year, I felt it was just as good as my freshman year," Stingley said. "Freshman year I had over 90 targets. Sophomore year I had 30. If anything, that should just say I was doing my job." - Lafayette Daily Advertiser
