Elliott Porter-Center

Porter played in 10 games last season and and with the experience puts him in as a starter of snapping for Zach Mettenberger in 2012 puts Porter in to play.

Dillon Gordon-Tight End

There is some what of a tight end race here and it is possible that Travis Dickson and DeSean Smith might be starting games this season too. Currently Gordon is practicing with the first team since he's the best blocking tight end. When times comes for tossing the ball around Smith and Dickson will most likely be in.

Jermauria Rasco-Defensive End

It is now time for Jermauria Rasco to to drive that defensive line at the end position after sitting behind Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery. rasco came to LSU as a 5-star recruit from Evangel Christian Academy.

Jordan Allen-Defensive End

A knee enjury kept Allen out last season but he impressed them at camp and is in a great position to start this season as defensive end. He'll most likely rotate with Danielle Hunter and Tashawn Bower throughout the season.
