Offensive line coach Brad Davis and head coach Brian Kelly have work to do in figuring out who starts next season. The LSU offensive line was one of the worst units a season ago. According to PFF, the Tigers were 70th in run blocking. They allowed 38 sacks in 2021, the second-most allowed in the SEC. Only the Tennessee Volunteers were worse.
LSU hosted Florida International offensive lineman Miles Frazier, who is in the transfer portal. If the Tigers want to improve an offensive line that struggled mightily in 2021, Frazier should be a top priority.

Frazier is down to three schools with Florida State, Ohio State, and the Tigers. He would likely slide right into a starting spot among the offensive line, especially with Austin Deculus exiting after starting 60 games for LSU. His addition would likely be on the right side and put incoming freshman Will Campbell in a battle at left tackle. Being the more experienced tackle, Frazier might slide to the left to protect the blindside since the Tigers won’t have a left-handed quarterback with Max Johnson transferring.

The Tigers have three commitments on the offensive line with Campbell, Bo Bordelon, and guard Emery Jones. Along with Deculus, starting center Liam Shanahan, and guard Ed Ingram will also be leaving the team following the Texas Bowl against Kansas State. Often injured Chasen Hines could return for another year with the extra year of eligibility due to the COVID-19 season in 2020.
