There were not many LSU offensive linemen whom new coach Lane Kiffin wanted to keep from the 2025 unit. A total of eight transferred to other schools.

One who considered leaving, but stayed, was Weston Davis, a starter in 10 games at right tackle last season as a redshirt freshman. He showed signs of promise, but also of inconsistency. Davis (6-foot-6, 315 pounds) has the size and the potential to be a dominant tackle. And the No. 13 offensive tackle in the nation from Beaumont United High in Beaumont, Texas, from the 2024 class should benefit greatly from the new coaching staff.
