LSU OL Anthony Bradford declares for NFL Draft
LSU fourth-year offensive lineman Anthony Bradford has declared for the 2023 NFL Draft.
Bradford becomes the first offensive lineman from LSU’s roster to declare, with the Tigers set to return the other four starters from the 2022 season.
The Tigers used a pair of true freshmen at offensive tackle in Will Campbell (left tackle) and Emery Jones (right tackle).
Charles Turner won the starting job at center and started 12 games for the Tigers, while transfer Miles Frazier made 13 starts in 14 games as the team’s left guard.
Garrett Dellinger, who battled through injury to see playing time at both center and guard, started in six of his nine appearances.
With Bradford gone from the roster, the Tigers could slide Dellinger into the open guard spot on the right side of the line. LSU could also shuffle up the current starting five, with one option being to move right tackle Emery Jones inside to right guard with the possibility of playing true freshman Zalance Heard, a five-star signee, at right tackle.
