LSU’s spring practices, which begin on March 8th, are quickly approaching as the winter season draws to a close
There is a lot of enthusiasm surrounding this club and their potential in 2025, so the Tigers offseason cannot finish soon enough. The LSU offence, which is strong from top to bottom, is the unit generating the most attention.
Important players including Chris Hilton Jr., Aaron Anderson, Caden Durham, and Garrett Nussmeier were brought back by the Tigers. Additionally, LSU hopes that guys like Tyree Adams, Coen Echols, Trey’Dez Green, and others will keep improving and advance into starting positions. LSU’s transfer portal additions, which included two starting receivers, two starting offensive lineman, and two tight ends who will make an immediate impact, are mostly responsible for the excitement.
As LSU’s Spring Camp approaches, we’ve put together our early projections for the Tigers’ offensive three-deep depth chart.

Quarterback Breakdown
The quarterback position is the most clear-cut on the roster, with Garrett Nussmeier returning for his second season as LSU’s starter and aiming for further growth. Michael Van Buren slots in as the primary backup, bringing SEC experience and significant potential. Ju’Juan Johnson, who was moved back to his high school position of quarterback, will serve as the third option while Colin Hurley continues recovering from injuries sustained in a car accident.
Caden Durham, a powerful player who had an amazing first season, is back with the Tigers at running back. As LSU adds two outstanding backs to the bunch, there will be fierce competition for the second-most carries. Harlem Berry and JT Lindsey might occasionally be too good to keep off the pitch, but Kaleb Jackson will have the opportunity to be the backup and, with his experience, should be hired.
After LSU went out and loaded up at the position using the transfer portal, the wide receiver room is a pick-your-poise scenario. Though almost everyone in the room has a chance to play important snaps for the Tigers in 2025, Aaron Anderson, Nic Anderson, and Barion Brown will probably be the first three players to take the field.
Since Mason Taylor, Ka’Morreun Pimpton, and Mac Markway have all left since the beginning of Summer camp, the room at Tight End will be almost all new. After showcasing his skills in the Texas Bowl, Trey’Dez Green appears to be the most likely starter. Donovan Green and Bauer Sharp, who transferred to LSU, will also receive playing time.
Due to the loss of four starters to the NFL, the offensive line is the most difficult group to forecast. Move Josh Thompson will play guard, but it’s uncertain which side he’ll play on, while Braelin Moore will probably start at centre. The remaining lineman will be chosen for the remainder of camp and the summer, but the Tigers room is full of players who can start.
The group with the greatest chance to upset the Tigers’ status and dethrone some of the more seasoned players may be LSU’s freshman class. No one would be shocked to see Harlem Berry receive a tonne of touches in 2025 if he showed promise.
He was the nation’s top running back recruit. The Tigers have a strong offensive line class, and if any of the freshmen had strong camps, they may start right away, particularly at tackle.
