Multiple LSU Players Land In Dane Brugler's Updated NFL Draft Top 50

The Athletic's Dane Brugler released his updated Top 50 prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft on Thursday, with several LSU players making the list:

Jordan Seaton (8)
Trey’Dez Green (14)
Jackson Harris (33)
Ty Benefield (38)
Princewill Umanmielen (44)

Here's what Brugler had to say about each prospect:

8. Jordan Seaton OT
6-5, 302 - Junior

Although his play has been up and down at times, Seaton has the tools that teams will be ready to bet on early in the first round. He is long and athletic and has enough play strength to settle down against power rushers. His ability to adjust and recover is rare.

14. Trey'Dez Green TE
6-6. 238 - Junior

At 6-6 1/2, 240 with 4.5 speed, Green is a unique athlete with natural ball skills. The silky-smooth way he adjusts and frames the football by using his vast catch radius makes him tough to cover. Green isn’t a zero as a blocker, either — he can lose slowly once engaged.

33. Jackson Harris
6-2, 205 - Redshirt Junior

One of the biggest risers this season, Harris took the Stanford-to-Hawaii-to-Baton Rouge route and has emerged as the top target in Lane Kiffin’s offense. Listed at 6-2, 205, he is a good-sized athlete with explosiveness and strong hands to finish, regardless of the action required.

38. Ty Benefield S
6-2, 208 - Senior

Benefield has bounced around the LSU defense this season, giving scouts a better look at his diverse skill set. With his body length and athleticism, he can defend underneath zones, stay attached in coverage, spy the quarterback and make open-field stops.

44. Princewill Umanmielen Edge
6-4, 256 - Senior

Umanmielen feels like this year’s version of Cashius Howell — an undersized edge presence who can be overwhelmed at times against the run, but a legit top-50 prospect because of his pass-rush juice.

I expect him to be selected higher than his older brother, Princely (No. 77 pick), was in the 2025 draft.
