When you gonna update?

I had hoped that LSU would have updated their roster by now.

but my suggestion would be to organize it based on who you think will start.

Ever since I contributed the 20016/2017 LSU roster mod for Cajunomics on the NCAA Football game (X360), I have always wanted to produce an objective, repeatable methodology.

My methodology begins with On3 industry ratings (previously 24/7 industry ratings) and is overruled by observation. Obviously, I cannot reflect my observations yet on incoming transfers and freshmen. However, you are actually seeing my observation-based Depth Chart in the returning players (or what’s left of them).

Furthermore, posting my predictions in the past has either been too similar to my typical Depth Charts or it has invited unpleasant discourse (as you might imagine).

Notes:
• Ht/Wt/Class info has not been update. I will updated it whenever LSU updates their official 2026 Roster.
• I have attempted to look up video and Game Notes for the schools of incoming transfers, so I can determine their positions more precisely (mainly for OL).

Order Philosophy:
• Incoming transfers are placed below returning players and above incoming freshmen.
• Then they are sorted according to On3 Industry ratings.

Once again, your corrections and updates are welcome.

Scotcho, also put Phillip Wright as a redshirt freshman...

I have not been able to update all the returning players yet, so their H/W, Class, and Experience data are not up to date.
I usually wait until LSU lists the their updated roster before I update it all. Right now they only list coaches on the 2026 Roster.

Here is an updated look at the 2026 Depth Chart as of January 10th.
As in previous years, I am listing incoming transfers below returning players and higher than incoming freshman. Transfers' jersey numbers a listed from their previous teams.
Your corrections are welcome.

Here are my observations from the LA Tech game.
This Depth Chart simply reflects my observations of who got the start and who came in afterwards. This is not a prediction of what we will see vs. Florida.

Again, I apologize that Flickr no longer allows me to post in full resolution.

Updates:
• I have added a section for Injury Report. This does not include Weston Davis or Jimari Butler, both of whom returned to the game vs. LA Tech. I am uncertain about Destyn Hill's status, though I presume he is out after requiring surgery.
• I have made a slight change to the CB position. LSU kept Mansoor Delane and Ashton Stamps on the far side of the field, while DJ Pickett remained closer to the LSU sideline throughout the game.
• I have listed PJ Woodland as the NICKEL after being corrected by others, who have better eyes than I did during the Clemson game.
• NT Sydir Mitchell has been removed from the Depth Chart. BK said "There are standards that needed to be met, and those standards weren't met."
• You will notice that Jardin Gilbert is listed ahead of Harold Perkins at the STAR position.

ETA: BK provided injury updates in his SEC Teleconference availability.
• Braelin Moore's status upgraded to "Probable." He practiced yesterday and will practice again today.
• Solomon Thomas is out of the boot and a few weeks from being in a position where he can take reps.

No he did not.

Yes he did.

Excuse my ignorance but did Stamps see time?

---

Yes, he came in as the Nickel.
Dashawn Spears came in as Dime.
Interestingly, DJ Picket was on the field at CB2.

I apologize that the image is not crisp. It seems to be a problem with Flickr.

Correct, no Ebun or Kency either at RB

I still see Ebun, but not Kency.

Isn't Peyton Todd at Louisiana-Monroe?

Good catch, brother.
