The LSU Tigers return their entire starting offensive line for 2021. Now, the Tigers are working on their future offensive line, beginning with the class of 2022.
LSU has commitments from five-star offensive tackle Will Campbell and three-star offensive tackle Bo Bordelon for 2022.
But the Tigers are far from finished.
Kelvin Banks Jr., a five-star offensive tackle from Summer Creek High in Humble, Texas, released his top eight schools on Twitter and LSU made the cut.

At 6-foot-5, 300 pounds, Banks has elite size. He also tremendous athleticism and strong footwork, making him an ideal candidate to help his future school the moment he steps on campus.
Banks and his father, Kelvin Banks Sr., recently spoke to Steve Wiltfong of 247Sports and seemed to favor three schools: Texas, Texas A&M, and LSU.
“He pretty much has a good rapport with all of them, but he’s been really into UT and A&M and like LSU,” Banks Sr. said.
At LSU, Banks Jr. has already developed a strong relationship with head coach Ed Orgeron and offensive line coach James Cregg.

“Coach Cregg and Coach O are great coaches and always talking to me and communicating with me, and that’s great as well,” the younger Banks stated.
The Tigers currently have 10 commitments for 2022 and the No. 2 overall class, according to 247Sports.
Banks is the No. 24 overall player and No. 2 offensive tackle in 2022, and his addition would give LSU one of the best offensive line classes in recent memory.
