More tolan clark a month later, Brian Kelly was hired away from Notre Dame. A few recruits decommitted when the Orgeron announcement was made.
A few Tigers entered the NCAA portal. Kelly quickly hit the recruiting trail too, making stops at key locales throughout Louisiana including Lafayette, Shreveport and Lake Charles. TOPPMEYER: Did LSU football hit homer with Brian Kelly or overspend in panic buy? The former Penn State commit who also showed interest in Ole Miss did not get offered until after Kelly replaced Orgeron. He could be a candidate to redshirt while taking time to develop. What to expect: LSU does play lots of offensive linemen, and Campbell, Louisiana’s No.
1 recruit according to the 247Sports Composite, could contribute right away, especially with starting tackle Austin Deculus done. What to expect: With starter Cade York declaring for early entry into the NFL draft and Peyton Badyrka in the transfer portal, the door’s open for left-footed Dibert to perhaps play right away if he can beat out backup Preston Stafford and impress new special teams coordinator Brian Polian. What to expect: Big enough to plug a gap but athletic enough to shed blocks, Hill could help at nose or defensive tackle. LSU loses quality tackles Glen Logan and Neil Farrell. Backups Jacobian Guillory and Jaquelin Roy remain, but interior defensive line depth lacks, so Hill perhaps could play sooner than later. He’s quick, a candidate to perhaps play out of the slot and potentially could help as a return man too.
