Every year new stars emerge for LSU during fall camp. This year looks like it won’t be any different. As the team’s continued to practice the wide receiver group is gaining some clarity. The final pieces to the offensive line are coming together. And the cornerbacks that were a problem last season? They might actually be a plus this year. Let’s dive into the three players who are clearing things up as the 2024 college football season approaches.
Malik Nabers and As LSU fall camp begins, three big potential players emerge ahead of the 2024 college football season.might be gone, but the next clear WR1 for LSU looks like he’s already here. Kyren Lacy has been looking good all off-season making huge plays since early spring practices, but he’s looking too smooth now. Watch as he glides into a slant route against Jordan Allen and takes it for a score in the post below from this week’s practice.
One thing Lacy has obviously improved this off-season is his route running. That’s given him much greater natural separation which has led to more consistency and smooth finishes on his receptions. But even when he doesn’t get technically “open” his ball skills have been on constant display, dating back to the first practices this spring (as you can see below).
While Chris Hilton Jr. and transfer wide receiver CJ Daniels have also looked great as the other two likely starters, Lacy is emerging as the clear top dog. Expect an absolutely massive season from him this year.The LSU offensive line returns four starters this season, and looks like potentially one of the best units in the country. The one question has been concerning the center position, but it looks like that’s in good hands. DJ Chester has emerged as the clear new starting center, and he has the full confidence of his teammates. The staff moved him to guard for one day of practice too (likely just to get some reps if necessary in-season), but he’s going to be a star at center.
Garrett Dellinger (starting guard) said that, “[Chester]’s constantly working, constantly studying film…[Offensive line teammates] don’t ever have to question whether he knows what he needs to be doing on a play.”
