April 15: What does LSU's roster need after the spring game?

Beat writer Wilson Alexander joins sports editor Perryn Keys to take stock of the LSU football roster after the spring game and what to expect when the NCAA transfer portal reopens. One of the most important things for LSU was what didn't happen in the spring game: The Tigers didn't suffer any major injuries. Wilson discusses why that was (obviously) good to see, then breaks down the performance of Garrett Nussmeier, who looked like he was in command, and the first-team offensive line, which looks like a strength. So, too, did the wide receiver position, starting with senior Kyren Lacy but also continuing with transfers CJ Daniels and Zavion Thomas. The not-so-good news: The backup QBs still need work, and so, too, does the second-team offensive line. Then there's the defensive tackle issue. Brian Kelly minced no words: LSU must continue to search for more defensive tackles when the portal reopens Tuesday. The edge rushers — including true freshman Gabriel Reliford — showed promise. As for the secondary, that, too, is a work in progress, but that appears to be less about finding new players and more about figuring out which current players work best. Finally, we discuss punter Peyton Todd's tough day, as well as what LSU must gain (and lose) in the portal this offseason. Subscribe to our YouTube channel!
