by Staff Reporter

January 9, 2024124 Comments

Matthew Hinton-USA TODAY Sports

LSU's starting defensive tackle, Maason Smith, announced Tuesday evening that he has declared for the 2024 NFL Draft.

Smith, a redshirt sophomore from Houma, La., came to LSU as a five-star prospect and had a promising freshman year in 2021 but missed the 2022 season with a torn ACL.

He played 12 games this season and recorded 28 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, two sacks, and two passes defended.

With Smith and Mekhi Wingo headed to the Draft, LSU will need to replace both starting defensive tackles next season.

Well, there won’t be any dropoff

Based on what he did while at LSU, this impacts the team zero percent.

Probably the dumbest decision in the history of decisions…maybe ever

Shooter•28 months

This dude has retards in his corner giving him bad advise! I'm getting Trev Faulk vibes from this decision!

Aroussel•28 months

And Trev Faulk was a baller.

TigerRoyale•28 months

His greatest achievement at LSU was getting injured celebrating a defensive play.

TigerB8•28 months

In a loss on national television, no less.....

TutHillTiger•28 months

I think this is a bad move

eugene1928LSU•28 months

Practice squad if he’s lucky, his NIL money must have been cut. Practice squad doesn’t pay much. Bad decision.

grich31•28 months

Bad decision for him, he should have stayed and got some real coaching from a DL coach for full yr

tirebiter•28 months

Best of luck to him but he really needs to work on his explosiveness and leverage. I can't fathom him taking on a double team in the NFL and winning.

cajunmud•28 months

They won't waste another guy on him.

DVinBR•28 months

UDFA, Practice Squad, Out

brewdrees•28 months

Saints?

lovinLSU•28 months

He wore a “0” for a reason…

porge7106•28 months

He got some really bad advice. Wow day 3 pick.

Quatre Pot•28 months

*not a star defensive lineman
Just a defensive lineman

LSUNV•28 months

He would have made more money on NIL than he will next year. This was a bad decision on his part

Sarge•28 months

Dumb decision. Practice squad if lucky, I’ll eat crow if different

Bust

He was a JAG the entire time he was at LSU.
J=just
A=a
G=guy.
Immature player, high pad level, not smart, following poor advice. He did not make his mark at LSU. Compared to what he was supposed to be, he was a disappointment. I wish him the best.

Geaux_Lang2793•28 months

He’s 5th-7th round pick at best. Extremely underwhelming season. Whether it was his injury or lack of effort, only he knows. Good luck young man.

TigahJay•28 months

Tape doesn’t lie, he was shite last year. Good luck but he’s at best a day 3 pick.

MakeMoney•28 months

He has zero film

TaderSalad•28 months

He has one clip of a celebration… oh wait, he snapped under the pressure
