ESPN recently released a ranking of the top 10 teams in the country by how many 2025 NFL draft prospects they are going to have. LSU is one of the top 10 teams.
LSU once again has a super-talented roster, even with the loss of [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], [autotag]Malik Nabers[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Thomas Jr.[/autotag] on the offensive side the Tigers still have [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag], [autotag]Kyren Lacy[/autotag], and [autotag]CJ Daniels[/autotag] who look to make plays. Add to that the fact that LSU has two of the top offensive tackle prospects in the [autotag]2025 NFL Draft[/autotag] in [autotag]Will Campbell[/autotag] and [autotag]Emery Jones Jr.[/autotag] and the offense is in great shape.
On defense, the Tigers have a new defensive staff and [autotag]Harold Perkins Jr.[/autotag] is back and looks to increase his draft stock even more. Here is how LSU was ranked according to ESPN.
The talent for the Tigers starts in the trenches, where offensive lineman Will Campbell will have a chance to be the first at his position off the board. He’s not the only one, as Emery Jones also boasts a high draft grade heading into the 2024 season. Linebacker Harold Perkins has the potential to play his way into the first round if he can recover his freshman form. Then there are a handful of skill position players who could round out the later rounds of the draft.
Predicted first-rounders: 3
Predicted total draft picks: 8
Top projected prospect: OT Will Campbell
LSU will start the 2024 season against USC on Sept. 1.
