The 2025 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night, and LSU fans have plenty of reasons to tune in this weekend. Whether you’re watching to see Will Campbell walk across the stage early in Round 1 or keeping tabs on which NFL team your favorite player will land with later in the weekend, here’s how to catch all the action—and which LSU names to keep an eye on.

How to Watch

The NFL Draft will be live from Green Bay, Wisconsin and will air across multiple networks:

Thursday, April 24 (Round 1) – 7 p.m. CT on ESPN, ABC, and NFL Network

Friday, April 25 (Rounds 2-3) – 6 p.m. CT on ESPN and NFL Network

Saturday, April 26 (Rounds 4-7) – 11 a.m. CT on ESPN and NFL Network

Fans can also stream live coverage through the ESPN app, NFL app, or services like YouTube TV and Hulu Live.

LSU Draft Prospects to Watch

Offensive tackle Will Campbell is LSU’s top prospect and could be one of the first offensive linemen off the board. A three-year starter at left tackle, Campbell brings elite pass protection, SEC toughness, and leadership to the table. He has Top 10 buzz and shouldn’t have to wait too long Thursday night to hear his name called.

Fellow offensive linemen Emery Jones Jr., Garrett Dellinger, and Miles Frazier are also in the mix. Jones has starting three years of experience at right tackle and offers Day 2 potential, but whether he’ll potentially stick at his right tackle spot, or potentially kick inside to guard remains to be seen. Dellinger and Frazier are versatile interior linemen likely to come off the board on Day 3.

On the defensive side, Bradyn Swinson and Sai’vion Jones are intriguing edge prospects. Swinson had a breakout season and showed he can disrupt the quarterback off the edge, while Jones brings size and athleticism that could develop at the next level.

Zy Alexander, a long, rangy cornerback, is another name to watch, especially in the middle rounds. He has the size and ball skills that NFL teams covet. Tight end Mason Taylor, known for his clutch play and NFL bloodlines, also has early to mid round appeal with Mel Kiper slotting him at No. 41 overall.
