Lance Heard to see some first-team reps against Grambling

Lance Heard could be the next true freshman to make an impact on LSU’s offensive line.

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is always looking for ways to improve the team, Especially after a rough game last week. It appears Kelly is looking to shake things up a little against Grambling this weekend.

Lance Heard was a five-star offensive tackle in the 2023 recruiting class that was ranked as the No. 16 overall player in the country, the No. 3 offensive tackle, and the No. 2 player in the state of Louisiana. This Saturday night in Death Valley, Kelly is going to give him a chance to run with the first team at offensive tackle, though it’s unclear if he will make the start.

My assumption is that he will be trying out for right tackle, the spot that is occupied by [autotag]Emery Jones Jr.[/autotag] Jones was a Freshman All-American last season, but it’s possible he could slide over to play guard.

Will Campbell, owner of the No. 7 jersey patch, is cemented in the starting lineup.
