LSU could have another true freshman on the starting offensive line in 2018.
First-year offensive line coach James Cregg said Thursday he expected freshman newcomer Cole Smith to be in the running for the starting center position when spring practices begin March 11.
The Tigers last season started a true freshman at right guard in all 13 games, with Saahdiq Charles starting the opener and Ed Ingram handling the remaining 12 games. Charles started another eight games at other positions in place of injured players.
Cregg spoke during an interview Thursday with ESPN Baton Rouge 104.
