Head coach Brian Kelly has awarded No. 7 to offensive tackle Will Campbell.

In his announcement, coach Kelly said that LSU wants "to build upon the tradition of No. 7 and award it to the best player from the state of Louisiana."

Campbell (No. 66) will wear a No. 7 patch for the Tigers this season.

Silent kid that lets his play do the talking. When he buttons that chin strap his entire demeanor changes and he becomes nasty just like you want out of the OL. When Heard makes his debut it’s going to be fun to watch Campbell, Jones and Heard open holes for our stable of RBs.

7 should be a true leader. I think Big Will can fill that role

As a hs lineman & a retired line coach in hs there is no one other than the Quarterback than the left tackle. Campbell is on his way as the greatest offensive lineman in LSU history.

Coach Kelly gave it to Campbell because he thought he was the best choice for this team.

I’ve always considered 7 to be the playmaker, flying around the field, skill guy. Go figure.

I don’t think it should be the best player from Louisiana. How does that make players from out of state feel. How will top players from other states feel when we only showing recognition to players from Louisiana.

It was not for Louisiana players. Kelly just made that up. if he wants on for this purpose pick another number.

People are so mad that number 7 isn’t a RB, WR, or DB. Number 7 has been the playmaker and the game changer. Coaches must believe Will is the guy that doesn’t miss a block when it really counts. The guy who doesn’t quit on the play and knocks down two defenders. We’ve all seen those blocks down field that made the touchdown run. Also understand that BK is trying to establish an O-line that dominates the line of scrimmage. Something we haven’t had in a long time. I believe in BK and that this is a good move. I’ll take Will over Giles any day.

I was one of the guys thinking, had its time and looked great on the LSU STUDS all those years but it's time needed an ending.
Then video hits with lineman Will Campbell gets the #7. I'm back in now. Best player to be able to bring back that swag.

I love this pick by BK. I'm also loving the melt of folks crying "don't mess with our tradition" from the same people that wanted to end this tradition altogether. WC might not touch the ball, but make no mistake he is as much a game breaker and playmaker as anyone else else out there.

That’s awesome for this young man. He will be in the NFL for 15 year. I’m sure as an All Pro many of them.
Can he were #7 as a linemen?

To all of the young men who are thinking about leaving the boot, this is just one of the many opportunities you would miss out on.

other schools have 7 on the roster. That is what other schools will say in the living room too. 7 is for the play maker
