Thickly built OL will be a force on the interior for LSU.
Finding offensive line depth proved one of the top priorities of the 2015 signing class. In fact, without adding any additional bodies, LSU would have returned only ten offensive lineman in 2015 (this before the departure of Jonah Austin), one of which is a Senior and another five of those being draft eligible. That's a depleted depth chart in OL terms. Jeff Grimes needed to pull through with a monster class, and that's exactly what he did. Grimes went to work locally and nationally. While he missed out on the state's top OL (Jerry Tillery, who went to ND to play DT), he plucked prospects from Louisiana, Texas (2x), Ohio and Georgia.
