With the door closing on the 2021 college football season, we focus on the 2022 LSU Tigers ahead of the final signing period.
At first look, the roster has about 13 spots left to fill. That number could be slightly off but that is the ballpark number we will roll with. The quarterback position seems to be in a good spot. They have the experience of Myles Brennan returning after he pulled his name from the transfer portal. Plus a pair of young guns in Garrett Nussmeier and Walker Howard.
At running back the team lost Ty Davis-Price to the NFL draft but they return an experience John Emery Jr in 2022. He is the most talented of the group that has Corey Kiner, Josh Williams, Armoni Goodwin, and Tre Bradford. The team is awaiting the decision from TreVonte’ Citizen.
Looking at wide receiver and tight end, again the team should feel like they are in a good spot. With Kayshon Boutte and an emerging Malik Nabers, they have a good tandem of pass catchers. Not to mention they could get Deion Smith back from the portal, perhaps wishful thinking. Jack Bech is the best tight end and they added Mason Taylor to the group.
These are the positional outlooks that I don’t feel overly great about at this point in time.
