The LSU Tigers received more good news on Monday evening when starting left tackle Dare Rosenthal announced he was returning for the 2021 season.
Rosenthal is the final piece of LSU’s offensive line to announce he is returning in 2021. That means each member of the 2020 starting offensive line will be in place next fall for new offensive coordinator Jake Peetz.
The 6-foot-7, 327-pound Rosenthal is a rising redshirt junior. A former four-star recruit from Ferriday, Louisiana, Rosenthal started three games in 2019 and moved into the starting left tackle position in 2020 after Saahdiq Charles departed for the NFL.
In 2020, Rosenthal played in seven games, making five starts. He did miss two games due to a team-sanctioned suspension in which head coach Ed Orgeron refused to disclose the reason for the suspension.

Rosenthal is the ninth LSU Tiger to announce his return for 2021 publicly. He joins right tackle Austin Deculus, left guard Ed Ingram, center Liam Shanahan and right guard Chasen Hines in returning to Baton Rouge for one more season.
LSU’s offensive line struggled early in the 2020 season but played much better in the final two weeks. Returning all five starters should bode well for the offense in 2021.
