The 2025 NFL Draft had one last “Boom” for LSU’s “Bomb Squad” Saturday as Garrett Dellinger joined his offensive line-mates as a selection in the class.

The Baltimore Ravens picked the versatile, veteran interior blocker in the seventh round at No. 243 overall

He joins third-round pick Emery Jones Jr. on the way the Baltimore, as well as their fellow three-year starters along the offensive line in Baton Rouge in New England Patriots’ No. 4 overall pick Will Campbell and the Detroit Lions’ fifth-round pick Miles Frazier.

The Tigers had only had three offensive linemen selected in the same draft twice previously in the past 60 years — all since 2020.

Dellinger’s selection now marks the first time since 1947 that four LSU offensive lineman have been selected in the same NFL Draft.

The 6-foot-5, 320-pound blocker’s versatility has been considered a key piece of his potential at the next level.

Dellinger appeared in 41 games and earned 30 starts during his four-year college career — predominantly at left guard, but with work also at left tackle and center. And in high school, he worked early on at right guard and right tackle as an underclassman before taking over the left tackle spot as a junior and senior.

“I’m totally comfortable if they want me to play center,” he told reporters at the Reese’s Senior Bowl. “If they want me to make the calls, I’m good with that. I make the calls in my head before, even at left guard. So, if they want to put me at left guard, right guard, center, tackle — I’m good with anything. I’ll learn it and do it.”
