Sedrick Van Pran screwed us

He signed with UGA three years ago. A school like LSU shouldn't go three years being unable to find a center. In 2020 and 2021 LSU had to rely on a Harvard transfer who had never played center previously. Now, it looks like they are trying to plug a tackle into that role late, with limited success (thus far). Center is probably the most mentally demanding position on the OL, but the least physically demanding. Often times the center is going to have help on blocks.

Given LSU has other "bodies" on the team who would seem like they have the size to play center it sounds like they are very limited in the number of guys who could handle the mental aspect of the position.

We will be fine. It’s a brand new position to Dellinger but he’s the guy you want there talent-wise. He’s still got 2 weeks to work on it. Thankfully we get a bad Florida State team and then Southern for Dellinger to get his feet wet before playing an SEC game.
