Figured we would have a few OL hit the portal. Good luck to the man!

I think DJ Chester was getting close to passing him for center.

Marlon needs to go somewhere and play. He put the time and work in here, he just couldn't crack the lineup. Good luck to him.

Face it. It’s hard to maintain good depth along the OL. Good depth pieces on an award-winning line want to go somewhere and start. It’s frustrating but you can’t blame them.

Mason Lunsford transferred from Maryland and never really played and he was supposed to be pretty good. LSU got lucky on the OL last year and had very few injuries.

Turner needs to be gone. Too small to place center. Not big athletic play the other positions. Thank you for your service.

Good luck to him. He maybe a starter for another team but I can't fault him for leaving. He has been a good team guy and stayed so GOOD LUCK MM.

He is more of a guard.

I think with the portal being in play, depth in general is harder to build and keep

He did in the Missouri game.

Martinez had a high snap on the play where Daniels scored and was hurt in the endzone. The play TD was called back because of a penalty. He then, I think, had a poor snap that threw off the timing on a third down play after the TD was called back. LSU would miss a short FG that could have made it 32-30 Missouri.

Luckily it was one of the few times the defense stepped up and forced a punt when the game could have gotten out of hand. Chester was in a center on the next drive and the rest of the game.
