Just reiterating that Chester will not be Starting ...at center. I know you're not saying He definitely will

---

Assuming there are no injuries and the incoming transfers grab starting spots, I suspect DJ Chester will take over the starting spot at LG with Paul Mubenga backing him up.

This “Day 3” Depth Chart only reflects my observations from watching various YouTube videos from the news outlets.

Somewhat confusing that there is a SAM & SAF(Star)

Yes, the STAR position will be manned by either a LB (SAM) or a Safety. I am separating them in my Depth Chart because it makes more sense to me to do so in the event that the player has to fill in at another position.

Notably, Austin Ausberry, who took 1st team reps at STAR, was observed practicing with the LBs, and he was the only non-LB to man the Star position in yesterday's team period.

Thought Chester was moved to guard?

---

He was at RG on Day 1, but they have been swapping a lot of players around on the O-Line to give them different looks.

I updated my Depth Chart to add walk-ons and to provide additional clarity to the icons.

[Update: Glen West of Geaux247 stated that he observed Safety Jardin Gilbert “off to the side” with other injured players, including Harold Perkins.]

[Edit: On “Morning Scone” Matt Moscona said that Toviano and Cooley were the starting safeties. (image updated)]

This is my best guess at yesterday's Depth Chart.
Jersey numbers have been issued for the new guys.

Not much news from the first day of Spring practice.
• Matt Moscona reported that Josh Thompson is still awaiting graduation at Northwestern before joining LSU later this month.
• Moscona listed the starting 5 OL and mentioned that Carius Curne was already running 2nd team.
• Moscona said Stamps and Delane started at CB.
• Colin Hurley is not at school right now due to his accident, therefore, he is not practicing with the team.
• Former SAF/RB, Ju'juan Johnson, has been moved to QB.
• RB Trey Holly is scheduled to stand trial beginning July 7.

Why do I want to see All three weeks brother at the Sam Will and Mike Simultaneously?

---

Well that's probably due to our human propensity to appreciate a good story line, or, otherwise, our survival skill of recognizing patterns.
It would be pretty cool to see for a drive.
• SAM = Whit Weeks
• MIKE = Zach Weeks
• WILL = West Weeks

Here is my prediction of the LSU Depth Chart for Day 1 of Spring Training.
Obviously, your guess is as good as mine.

Notes:
• It should be noted that if I were predicting a Game 1 Depth Chart, then things might be a bit different here.
• We have seen that BK likes to have an upperclassman in the starting spot during the Spring, even if he has to share reps with a younger guy that might eventually supplant him. For this reason alone I do not expect a single true freshman to start on Day 1 of Spring Training.
• In my previous post-portal preview I listed all incoming transfers in the 2nd slots of their respective positions. This time I'm taking a guess.

Updates:
• Player Class and Experience columns have been updated as best as can be predicted.
• All On3 Industry ratings have been updated for incoming freshmen and transfers.
• H/W has been updated for incoming freshmen, according to LSUsports.net, but I had to click on players' links individually for more recent information than what was posted in the Signing Class overview page.

Notable Battles:
• [RB] Kaleb Jackson better prove it and prove it fast. Harlem Berry is going to get some of his reps, but will he take all of them?
• [WR] It's hard to imagine that Nic Anderson wouldn't take one of the starting spots. But people have been talking about him being a "deep threat," and that threat usually comes from the boundary, where Chris Hilton Jr. currently plays.
• [TE] I suspect that Bauer Sharp might end up getting the nod instead of Trey'Dez Green, but I cannot imagine Green not at least sharing in 1st Team reps.
• [OL] Carius Curse and Solomon Thomas have been the only OL mentioned to potentially contend for playing time in 2025. Thomas was specifically listed as "Tackle" on LSUsports.net.
• [DE] The two DE spots are going to be a slugfest this Spring. Perhaps Gabriel Reliford will move to the strong side (DEf) to allow for Patrick Payton to start as an edge rusher.
• [LB] The battle at MIKE should be good as well, but I expect West Weeks to take the first reps on Day 1. Davhon Keys could just as easily backup Perkins at SAM.
• [SAF] People have been predicted Tamarcus Cooley as a Day 1 starter at Safety. He will have to compete with Dashawn Spears at that spot, because the Star position is probably going to give way to Harold Perkins at SAM.

Now that the portal window is winding to a close, I wanted to update my Depth Chart.

Notes:
• Grad students may enter the transfer portal at any time.
• Incoming transfers are inserted into the #2 slots at their respective positions.
• This is not my prediction of a starting lineup or position changes.
• No news on John Emery, so I left him on the Depth Chart.

If you notice any oversights on my part, please let me know.

Thank y’all for catching those.
I’ll get it fixed later today.

Edit: Everything should be correct for now.

You’re right, thanks!
