LSU's 2026 offensive line has a big opportunity this fall...not only aiming to deliver a strong season up front, protecting their quarterback, igniting a long dormant running game & helping Lane Kiffin's Year 1 Tigers contend for a title, they're also shooting to become the first Tigers O-line unit of the post 2019 era to collectively turn the tide & usher in a complete changing of the guard:

Since LSU won the Joe Moore Award as the nation's best O-line during their G.O.A.T 2019 National Championship monolith, it's been one horrendous, horrific, historically awful season after another, even as individual O-line greats like Will Campbell (drafted as a top 5 pick), Emery Jones Jr, and Garrett Dellinger started for consecutive seasons, even as OL Coach Brad Davis was thought of as the "#1 OL recruiter in the country"....

However, the development never followed Brad Davis' expert recrutiing, and one wasted prospect after another either departed the program or melted into a dormant shell of themselves within the frayed tapestry of LSU's O-line depth chart.

Now that development, recruitment & utilization of talents falls to a pair of men...OL Coach Eric Wolford & James Cregg (one of the most surprising returns in college football history).

OL Coach Eric Wolford & former LSU OL Coach James Cregg could forever be remembered as the men who transformed Tigers offensive lines away from the subpar to disgraceful 2020-2025 era....possibly the worst O-line era we've ever seen at Louisiana State University...into a vicious, philistine collective of size, strength, and

      Outside of center Braelin Moore and left tackle Jordan Seaton, there are major questions about right tackle and each guard position.

     The right & left guard spots have mostly been filled by a trio of 2nd year guys like Devin Harper, William Satterwhite (also backup center), and Darrin Strey, though the experienced guard Aliou Bah retained his 1st team spot for the duration of Spring Camp, looking like a devastating force, and longtime Tiger Bo Bordelon usurped Harper in a recent practice, so there is more depth & competition than meets the eye.

       However, this is a line that skews inexperienced or, when discussing right tackle Weston Davis, major surprises followed by question marks...

      It was a massive shock when the poor performing 2025 starting right tackle Weston Davis returned under Lane Kiffin, one of the few remaining O-linemen who stayed during the ousting of former OL Coach Brad Davis and hiring of Eric Wolford....

      But the shock was nearly supernatural when Davis began making consistent appearances as LSU's fixed starting right tackle, retaining the spot across all of Spring Camp thus far.

       He's looked okay, usually getting help via combo blocks & tight end help, yet I admire Davis's character...fighting through a truly awful 2025, earning the respect & starting nod from his coaches, and now looking to be a different, more mature, more cerebral version of himself.

      I need to see him perform in a few games first, but to say I'm intrigued by Weston Davis' wild turnaround is an understatement.

       This was the most criticized and maligned player on the team last season, giving up sacks or dangerous QB hits / pressures, and yet here he is, perhaps transformed, holding his own so far through Spring, and even looking solid at times.

       Will he keep his spot???
