Offensive line targets LSU football fans should be watching for 2027

LSU is actively shaping its 2027 offensive line class, building on momentum as the Tigers pursue a stronger trench corps. The 2027 group ranks No. 9 nationally in the Rivals Industry Rankings with 13 commits, 10 of them blue-chip. LSU has already landed its first two linemen of the cycle—four-star Terrance Smith from Pennsylvania and three-star Amaziah Siale from Hawai'i—signaling a strategic out-of-state recruitment approach. New offensive line coaches Eric Wolford and James Cregg are driving the push, with several high-profile targets remaining. Albert Simien, a five-star guard ranked No. 14 nationally, hails from Louisiana and is a top priority despite Texas A&M's interest. Kelsey Adams, a four-star tackle from Georgia, is reportedly favored to stay with Georgia, but LSU is pushing for a flip, with Rivals predicting LSU at 77.6% and Crystal Ball picks favoring the Tigers. Kal-El Johnson, a four-star tackle from Ohio, remains uncommitted; Georgia Tech leads some boards, but Johnson has visited Baton Rouge multiple times, and LSU has shown the resources to compete. LSU remains intent on adding multiple blue-chip linemen this cycle, recognizing that high school development remains crucial even with the transfer portal active. The staff's pursuit could redefine LSU's ceiling in the SEC if they land several top blockers. Fans should expect continued updates on offensive line targets through the summer and into the fall.
