Defensive tackle remains a major area of need with National Signing Day in the books.
National signing day is in the books for LSU.
It wasn’t a particularly eventful day: 28 of its 29 commits were signed in December. The lone unsigned player, five-star defensive tackle [autotag]Dominick McKinley[/autotag], made everything official. However, LSU missed on the only other player it was in the mix for. Five-star athlete [autotag]Terry Bussey[/autotag] held true to his commitment to Texas A&M.
While we may have far more roster clarity heading into 2024, the Tigers may not be done yet. Coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] said the team still has some needs that could be addressed during the signing period, mentioning the defensive tackle depth, specifically.
“We still have some needs,” Kelly said. “The defensive tackle position is one that we’re still vetting that we have some needs that we’ll continue to look at moving forward going into the spring. But again, excited about Dominick McKinley and his addition today. … We could have some other movement here.”
It’s certainly an area of concern for the Tigers. LSU returns only one player with significant experience at the spot: veteran [autotag]Jacobian Guillory[/autotag]. It wouldn’t be surprising to see LSU make another move in the transfer portal this week.
